Games on the ipad

[Barbara]

I can hear you: you think I'm crazy. But yesterday I downloaded the free app GameForCats to my ipad (I have it since last November and cannot imagine how I ever lived without it).
The game I have tried so far is a red dot, bigger than a laser dot which moves in an erratic way over the screen. If you hit it with a paw there is a *bing* sound-not very loud and you get 100 points.
When I showed it to Kiri she couldn't have cared less but Orion had 700 points in no time. Then he started to dig under the pad to see where the little bugs had all gone
I will certainly try it again-I have however the feeling that it is a good thing for crazy Abyssinians and not so much for quiet representatives of the feline kind.

It's funny what one cat will find fascinating and the other couldn't care! But now you'll have to worry about Orion "helping" you when you need to use it!

New information 10 minutes later: when Kiri saw that Orion played she reconsidered.
Now she developped the 2 paw technique (700 points per half minute) and then tried the all body technique (not so successful-she should know that is for newspapers but not for electronic media).
Then Orion and she began to wrestle and then I had to wrangle the ipad out of their paws.
Woukd you have imagined 25 years ago when you worked with your first "word processor" that you would sit exhilarated at a table on which your cats play computer games?

Hee hee - "If HE likes it, maybe I should try it! Don't wanna let HIM have all the fun!" I wonder if there's some paint program that makes sounds you could try with them!

Oh Barbara! Please make sure Kiri and Orion do not have access to email or they will alert the Es who will want their own ipad! Will they be satisfied using my husband's?

This is great!! As you know we have Apple computers, iPhones etc. I have mentioned to Gunter that Evie needs her own iPad - so far he's not buying it ... I think she would love it!!

How can I stop them? Touch screens work very much in their favor
