This iPad Game is Just For Your Cat

Humans need not apply.

We've known for the better part of a year that kitties really appreciate the touch-screen functionality of Apple's iPad [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99975-The-iPad-So-Simple-a-Cat-Can-Use-It], so it's wonder that it's taken someone so long to make a game that caters explicitly to our feline friends.

But that's exactly what the iPad Game for Cats [http://www.ipadgameforcats.com/] is. It's a free app you can download for your iPad that will display one of cats' two favorite things: a laser pointer dot or a cartoon mouse. The cat can play with it. That's the entire game, right there.

I think the best part of the promotional video you see here to the right isn't the cats that are so obviously enjoying their new high-tech toy, but the dog who isn't having any of it. He's too hardcore for this casual cat crap.

They should of put videos on that caption saying, "See? Its for cats. Cats love it." and "This dog is not a cat. It does not like this app because this app is for cats."

It just is adorable!

In one of the related videos, the cat actually lifted the iPad trying to find the mouse.

Better make sure the cat is declawed it you don't want a scratched screen...
that was my first thought as well...
I've never lived with a cat that wouldn't destroy such a device... but every cat I've lived with has been an indoor-outdoor small game hunter.

I had my cat trying to get the mouse on my HDtv made me laugh for a while.

Also the song for the video is called Anamanaguchi- My Skateboard Will Go On.

The iPads screen is ridiculously scratch resistant. It will take more than just a few minutes of kitty claws to do anything to it.

Try one and I'm sure you see what I am saying.

We need an Android version of this. My cat loves the Zippo lighter app on my phone, keeps him amused for literally minutes before it drains the entire battery...

Yes. Yes it is. Which brings me onto my other reason for commenting:

Videos of cats doing something cute = me exploding with happy.
Anamanaguchi = me exploding with happy.

A video of cats doing cute things with my second-favourite Anamanaguchi song playing over the top of it? Well done Escapist for bringing this to my attention, you just made my entire week.

Did you explode into explosions?
I did, exploded into explosions... which then exploded.

Y'know how sometimes words lose all shape and meaning after typing them a few times? Yeah...

I downloaded this for my iPad and she flipped the iPad over looking for the red dot. If you want to play the mouse part you have to pay for it though. VERY misleading.
