Is the iPad Really a Cat Toy?

September 26, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat32 Comments

For my human’s recent birthday, her boyfriend got me an iPad. I knew it was meant for me when my human set it up.

See? It is MY iPad!

I was quite excited! After all, I have seen all those awesome YouTube videos of cats playing with their iPads! My human downloaded every cat toy app she could find.

Well, I have to tell you, the iPad is not all it is cracked up to be.

You call that a cat toy? Where's the nip scent?

Seriously, how much fun can a fake mouse cartoon be?

There's nothing interesting to whap!

Binga just stared at it. I know what was going through her head: “What good is this?”

If that red dot does not climb the wall, I am not going to chase it.

I don’t get the appeal. I guess I’m just one of those cats who likes to chase after things that get tossed across the room. And one thing I know for sure: my human is not going to throw the iPad across the room! So I told her she could have it, and she is enjoying it a lot. Of course, she is boring and using it for things like loggining into early morning webinars while she is still in bed, looking at real estate prices on Zillow checking out the Internet Movie Database. Could she be any less interesting?

The iPad did have a big surprise for Boodie, though: herself!

    Boodie seems to be enjoying the iPad. I think your human should spend less time with the iPad and more time entertaining the cats. Isn’t that her job?

    MOL at Boodie! 😀 Sparkle, since you told us about all of your computers we’re surprised you didn’t like your iPad. We hope your mom-person will at least put to use in some way for your benefit 😉

    How cute! I’ll bet Boodie didn’t even know that was herself! At least someone got a kick out of that IPad thing.

    Very cool gift for humans, by the way. For some reason they seem to preFUR the virtual over the real these days. Go figure!

    Mom loves her iPad. Dad gave it to her last Christmas. She uses it ALL the time. But other than letting me look at it *B-O-R-I-N-G* I think she is a bit daffy to want to be on it all the time.

    Boodie is just so cute! Our mommy would get an iPad if it came with a Boodie app! She loves to check out Zillow too. Humans just have a weird sense of fun.

    That video of Boodie cracked me up! I love the ending where she just yawned and went to sleep next to it.

    I don’t think I would be interested in receiving an IPad. My preference would be chasing things or flipping a toy mouse in the air.

    Jake loves that app that Binga is looking at in the second photo! I only have an iPhone, so the app is tiny, but he still likes it.

    I really want an iPad to try out the cat painting app. Did your human get that one?

    Boodie must have wondered who that fabulous looking cat was! Our Mom has been thinking of getting an iPad. Her Net Book has been petering out and she loves her Mac stuff more than her Microsoft stuff.

    My Miss Frankie Lulu Belle likes playing on my iPad. She tries to pick it up and run with it but it’s way too big and heavy!

    We have often wondered if we would actually play with one of those, but we think it’s for kittens with a lot more energy than we have.

    Boodie looks like she’s having a fun time with the other cat that looks just like her!

    Looks like Boodie thinks she has a new friend. Too cute. Glad to hear we don’t have to buy an Ipod. Good news Sparkle. Thanks. Take care

    Boodie found her app! Binga looks like she’d play if she found the right one for her. Sparkle, you’re just too intelligent to enjoy something fake!!!
