Now your cat can play games on the iPad too   no comments

Friskies has several games for cats to play on your iPad or Android tablet.  Three games, Cat Fishing, Tasty Treasures Hunt and Party Mix-Up are available, with more apps planned.  The games feature virtual swimming fish and flying food or treats.  Friskie developed the games using rigorous behavioral research techniques and feline focus group sessions.

  “We’re always working to find new ways to feed cats’ senses, whether at mealtime or playtime,” said Ryan Gass, assistant brand manager for Friskies. “To develop these games for cats, we learned what truly appealed to them. Now we know their favorite colors, types of movement and their general game-play attitudes. We also found out that they cannot play pinball.”

The Friskies brand research revealed that cats are most intrigued by the intricate movements of objects as they wiggle or spin across the screen. Also, the range of colors a cat sees is much narrower than a human’s, so creating good contrast between the background and the playing pieces was crucial. And tablet devices’ glass screens stood up to the cats’ paws with no scratches.

To play the free games, go to gamesforcats.com with your tablet’s browser.  The games will not work on your desktop unless you are using the Safari or Chrome browsers.
