I am going to refer you to this article about how to enrich a cat's environment. This will help you to understand how to play with your cat and different activities you can do. It also has other ideas on how to keep an indoor cat happy. Cats don't play for long periods of time like dogs do. I would say on average you can keep their interest for 5-10 minutes at a time, 2-3 times per day. ( https://www.thedrakecenter.com/materials/environmental-enrichment-indoor-cats )
