I get what you are saying, but one of my cats is really fucking lazy so the only time she runs around is to chase the damn laser pointer. Yeah I guess I could also give her treats. But she's so fat, I don't know if that's good either.

Well if a child loves to play mario kart with you, but very rarely plays mario kart against the AI, the key takeaway should not be "I will lock myself in a room to build a mario kart AI that plays like me". Just spend time with the living creature if you love it.
My two offspring take up every breathing second of my life after my wife & work.. cat comes after all that which doesn't leave much time.
Not a treat, but even a toy works.
Something they can "get".
You want to complete the hunt/catch routine.
Even better is to then only feed them after this. The have a very repeatable hunt/eat/groom/sleep cycle.
