Didn't know this was an option, and I feel a bit left out on behalf of all the dogs (and dog owners) out there … apparently, you will soon be able to buy an app for your cat.
Now, this assumes two things: you have an iPad and you have a cat. I guess, technically, you don't have to own a cat; you merely have to have access to a cat. You might be a cat-sitter or have a neighbor who has a cat, or you might be one of those people who takes cats in off the street, gives them food and water, lets them sleep on your floor or furniture during the day, then sends them back to the owners at night.
Bottom line: In order to get the full effect of this new wonderful suite of applications from Friskies (Who else?), you have to put a cat and an iPad in the same room and convince the former to access the latter. Good luck.
So the Friskies folks have done their homework, apparently, reporting that they've designed the apps with colors, movements, and shapes that cats will really take to — meaning they'll focus for more than two seconds on them before turning away and back into Catworld. One of the games is Cat Fishing and feature, unsurprisingly, fish that move around the screen. (This would be a good opportunity to reassure all of us that the screens are allegedly strong enough to survive a few swipes from cats' claws. I would think that the iPad would be more prone to being batted about, but never mind.)
iPhone users take heart: Friskies has something for you, too, an app called Here Kitty Kitty, which emits sounds familiar to cats' desires, such as the chirping of a bird or the opening of a food tin. Small-time stuff, that, but it's still all within the realm of cat-friendly applications for your iCompanion. All I can say is, "Wow!"
