I’ve arranged for my neighbor to come in during the day to feed her, clean her box, and give her some play time. I have her daily schedule typed up and he’s coming over tomorrow to meet her and so I can walk him through her day. I have cameras set up in places I know she hangs out so I can check in on her. Aside from that, what else can I do or get for her to keep her from getting too bored or lonely?

You could try Cat TV or like a fake aquarium.

My little idiot attacks the TV whenever I put those on so as much as I wish I could I fear the worst. But I thought about like one of those automatic wand or laser toys. Is there one I can operate remotely?

I've heard laser toys aren't that good in the long run, since they never get to catch anything which can lead to frustration and poor behaviour or dissatisfaction.

If you're playing with a laser toy, sometimes during and particularly towards the end of the session, point it at another toy or a piece of food/a treat so they can successfully grab/kill/eat something.
