Mew and Me: iPad Games to Keep Your Cat from Feeling Lonely
- RankingMember 8y agoFor those cooped up in a place with limited windows and cat(s)/dog(s) in residence, check out a Youtuber named Paul Dinning. He makes hours-long videos of birds/squirrels you can cast and leave running during the day.
- madcow2011 8y agoaww. That's a great idea :)
- raesene9 8y agoThere's quite a wide range of what I tend to call "Cat TV" channels on Youtube. Our two cats are fans, quite happily watch birds/squirrels etc on YT . Only thing I'd say is make sure that the screen you run it on can't be easily knocked over by a cat pouncing on it as they try to catch what's on screen.

- Insanity 8y agoThat's a pretty cute idea. Not sure how I'd feel about my cat continously jumping on my device though. Nevermind just letting it lie around the house for her to play with. But that might have more to do with the behaviour of my cat! :P
- wdelvi 8y agoDefinitely a concern! I always say that this is "not the best solution, just the most accessible one," Many of our users use old devices or screen protectors. Eventually, we'd like to be able to offer physical smart toys too!
- LordHeini 8y agoOur cat absolutely ignores everything on a screen. And is boredom in cats even a thing? He absolutely no trouble sleeping the whole day. Does not even matter if he is outside or inside he will sleep through the apocalypse. As long he has a few ours of activity every now and then he is absolutely fine. Which usually means strolling around in the garden and playing with the neighbors cat or his humans. If you have a cat and you have to leave it alone for days you should not have a cat. Half a day is usually totally fine
- Insanity 8y agoAgreed. Cats, unlike dogs, seem to be able to take care of themselves just fine and don't mind being without their human for some time. My cat does like to snuggle up at night in the couch or sneak into the bedroom. (To sleep under the bed). It also depends on the age of the cat and the way they are raised of course. My cat is 16 years old now, and quite happily sleeps for most of the day in a sunny spot inside our home. Whilst she used to always like wandering around outside when she was younger.
- stevewodil 8y agoDogs depended on humans through evolution which differs from cats which were simply worshiped by humans or something like that idk
- wlesieutre 8y agoMy cat doesn't get bored, when she wants something to do she finds something to do: 1) Move things from tables and shelves to floor 2) Chew on stuff Finding non-destructive activities is a challenge, new toys work for a bit until they're not exciting anymore, then it's back to destroying things.
- wdelvi 8y agoThat's a big part of the reason we made this! It actually cycles content and experiments to figure out what engages your cat best :)

- patcheudor 8y agoAdd in a micropayment scheme with a cat friendly interface and profit!
- wdelvi 8y agoI always like to joke that it's free to download except that you have to enable Amazon One Click Purchasing.... haha
