You vs. Cat: There’s an App for That, Too!
One of the first posts I wrote for Pawesome was dedicated to iPad games for cats.

You vs. Cat is described as “a sort of a 21st century air hockey table for you and your favorite feline friend.” Apparently they demoed the game at the SXSW Interactive Festival in Austin, and test-cat Buddy (pictured above) went all bananas on it.
