IPAD GAMES FOR KITTIES TURNS THEM INTO PI-CAT-SSO

Is your cat bored? Do his usual playthings simply not do it for him anymore? Not to worry - there's an app for that. A US company has developed the world's first iPad apps - just for your feline tech-heads. The app's creators bill it as "All the fun of your cat chasing a laser pointer without any of the work!"While the kitties of yesteryear were traditionally happy to play with imaginary spiders or that bit of string hanging from your trouser hem, today's felines require an altogether more modern form of play time. That's why digital firm Little Hiccup, run by animator TJ Fuller and software engineer Nate Murray, have designed a range of iPad games tailor-made for your whiskered friend.
