Ime, no, but you can get them to follow you around the house while conspicuously pretending they're not (they'll just perpetually be about 3-6 feet away at all times when you're lingering in any one area).
Basically you keep treats on you whenever you're wearing something with pockets (I recommend a container that seals in case you wash it) and give them one every 15-30 minutes or so throughout the day, then steadily lessen over time, but never such that you're giving them none. If they start pulling away start giving a little more for a little bit and give time for the behavior to solidify before lessening again. Eventually you'll hit a plateau where you really just can't give treats less often or they'll give up.
I luv the corner stalking game. Nvr gets old, i just wish my place was way bigger so we could have a bit more extensive of roaming grounds to play hunt & seek
