Cats can be just as naughty as dogs or more so! I take Terri outside to play for as long as the weather allows me so she won't feel shut-in and get restless.
This generally works out well but there are days when it's too cold and the snow is covered in an icy glaze so I refuse to go outside with her.
Being a velcro dog, she doesn't stay out to play. There have been a few evenings when she's gone wild with various cardboard containers. We sometimes play fetch for a while and that pleases her (I toss a toy down the hallway).
On the whole, she's a VERY GOOD dog, never chewing inappropriate items -- unlike Flower, the cat.
Flower has been driving me crazy lately. Not surprisingly, she has no interest in going outside longer than 5 minutes, even on the warmest winter days. I don't blame her. The problem is that lately she's been feeling rambunctious from lack of exercise. I roll various types of small balls down the hallway but she isn't interested in chasing them. I jerk her toy at the end of a bamboo stick for her but she only plays for a few seconds; the same for a rope. We even had a genuine live mouse in the house at one point but she just sat and watched it. (I've no idea what happened to it.) So she gets into mischief scratching, biting, and chewing the papers on my desk. I guess I'll have to collect some unwanted papers and see if they will entertain her.

That's a beautiful photo from your backyard.
Good luck with Flower! Sometimes cats have mysterious ways and desires. Have you tried throwing crumpled paper balls for her - it might appeal to her paper fetish!
