iPad Apps For Cats: Friskies Debuts Kitty-Themed Tablet Games

Does Fluffy have her own iPad? If not, then you might have to share.

Friskies has developed a line of tablet-optimized gaming apps for cats. That's right: cats. Why should humans have all the fun?

Soon to be available for iPad and Android, these Games for Cats feature shapes, movements and colors that are meant to appeal specifically to kitties' senses.

The apps invite felines to engage with the tablet's touch screen and bob for digital fish, paw at moving treats and more. If you're worried about damage to your device, Friskies claims that the iPad and Android screens are sturdy enough to withstand scratches from cats' claws.

Games include "Cat Fishing," "Tasty Treasure Hunt" and "Party Mix-up."

Friskies has also developed an iPhone app called "Here Kitty Kitty" that calls cats with sounds like a tin can opening, a food bag rustling, a bird chirping, and more.

These apps will be available for download soon. For now, check out a video (below) to see some furry friends enjoying these games.

The apps better be free. Anything I buy for my cat is entertaining for ten minutes. Free boxes and string, however, have infinite appeal.

My 15-year-old cat is too smart to fall for this. Not sure about the 10-year-old, though.

Watch out the cats don't make hundreds of dollars of inApp purchases. Quick change your passwords before it's too late.

Mine are happy just trying to figure out where the cursor goes. Always checking behind the monitor for it.

Love my cat. Shiny coat, purrs like a trooper and goes after my toenail for some reason.

I could not believe this idea when I read the article, but then I watched the video. To tell the truth, I did not want an ipad until I saw the cats playing the games. Now, I want one just to watch my cats play with it!!!! I know, sad. :)

I've got the iPad. Got the cat. Can't find the app.
My cat is getting impatient.
