I thought the cat would play a single game and then you do the same thing and see whos faster...
But both at the same time...mmm...the cat is gonna be scared and walk away.
At least thats my opinion...

Must be a cat thing, I just don't see why this is headline news.

 

[video_master]

Well I saw a few people in costumes not even playing the game so this is the worst article ever.

cat's playing is cute but... what are the odds that the cat won't 'go for' the opponent's fingers/hands/face/you-know-what instead of the stuff on the screen?
always use protection while playing with your pussy!

Well cats are smarter than the typical iPad owner so I know who I'm betting on!

 

[aoneone]

how about a game where we consumers can flick boogers at the developers? i mean is that too impossible to ask?

I'm just waiting for PETA to issue some crap argument how "This is immoral and degrading to cat self esteem. It's maligning and victimizing cats all around the world."

In my world PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals. "Now, where did I put those pork chops?"

Cute, for 15-minutes at best - maybe (I can say that, I'm a cat person 😉); useful? I don't think so.

Assuming you could even get the cat interested in this. The cat in the video looks like it is extremely conditioned - assuming the video is not fake, of course.

My cat's got a temper. And the last place I want to be is in close proximity to his claws when he rage quits.

I wonder how long before the cat loses interest. My cats only stay interested in a toy for a very short while. Usually the best are cheap or free. Like a feather tied to a string.

Given that they are a bunch of hypocrites that kill a vastly higher percentage of animals than even city pounds I could care less about what they think. Then some cruel members even try to feed cats and dogs vegetarian diets. They often don't cite source and just claim a person or some article stated something to support one of their cacamamy claims.

I know I'm going to get voted down, but I don't care. Here it goes: this is stupid. And frankly, household animals are one of the most annoying chores ever.

Cant wait to see the threads start popping up on MacRumors 'HELP! MY CAT SCRATCHED MY BRAND NEW...UM,.....NEW IPAD!! OMGOMGOMG!'

 

[freggo]

Sorry, will stick with the laser pointer... better exercise for 'fluffy' as well 🙂

Cats just seem so...so...useless. ...I'd rather have an SSD.

This app doesn't work on my "the new iPad" 😛

 

[thorkle]

That screen is in serious danger... This game is asking for a law suit for ruining someone's ipad screen

Sheep vs Cats... my money are on the cats!

Well, you can tell dogs and cats are vegetarians but the large flat teeth they have for grinding up plant matter.. See:
