iPad CAT app: FUN AND GAMES FOR CATS
The ultimate iPad game app for your cat!
Four catch games, paw painting and a little musical game with The Persian Kitty Garage Band. Designed and developed with a lot of help from my own two cats, Sonny and Cher!
CATCH GAMES
* Mouse, Goldfish, Spider and Butterfly.
* All with sounds to catch your cat's attention!
PICATSO - PAW PAINTING APP
* Select colors to paint with (you can freely choose between 27 different colors). You can choose to paint with just one or a few colors or paint with a combination of all 27 colors.
* Choose between 3 different canvas (background) colors.
* Choose between 3 different "paint helpers" - which actually work great as catch games as well!
* Save your paw painting to your camera roll (in the Photos app) and print it.
CAT MUSIC GAME
* Catch the bouncing kitties to make them play their instruments.
* The goal is to get them all to play at the same time. Which is not that easy, because these little Persian kittens quickly lose interest in practicing and start bouncing around the screen again!

I have tested all these games on MANY cats and although most of them enjoyed the games (especially the Catch the Mouse Game), I have to be honest; digital mice and spiders are not for all cats. Some just totally ignored the moving things on the screen. So don't say I didn't warn you : )
But I hope you and your cat(s) will have as much fun with these cat games as my cats and I have had developing them and testing the app!

iPad and iPhone app: DEMOLITION KITTY (game for kids and grownups!)
Don't be fooled by his cute looks - Kitty is a demolition fur ball on four legs!
And he's gonna demolish everything he can lay his paws on. And your job is to help him.
You can make him jump up and lash out to tear down things from the shelves. But you also have to look out for rolling bowling balls and flying paper planes. To avoid these, you make him jump over or duck.
A couple of the things on the shelves have a little surprise "installed"! ... if you hit them in the right spot. You'll probably know which ones it is, when you see them!

iPad and iPhone app: CAT STACKING (game)
CAT STACKING is a cat game. Not a game FOR cats but WITH cats. Though I have to say that MY two cats really enjoy playing it. But when I say "playing" I mean "watching the screen and tapping everything that moves"! Which is not the best approach if you want to WIN the game! Not that they are stupid (How dare you?!), no, it's just that they don't care for rules. Of any kind. At all!!!
Anyway, for those HUMANS who want to play the game; it's about stacking cats. Catching and stacking a bunch of fat cats. And heres where the rules come in!
Each cat has to have at least two characteristics that match those of the previous cat in the stack (color, coat pattern and/or fur (long or short)). Does that sound easy? Well, it's not : ) But if you practice hard and get really, really good at it, you just might be able to build the PERFECT STACK! And what that is all about, you'll have to read in the instructions!
A word of advice; SEE THE CAT, BE THE CAT!

iPad app: CATCH THE MOUSE - CAT GAME
A very simple little cat entertainment game with "real mousie sounds" (as my cats call them).
See how many times your cat can catch the mouse. A counter will keep track of your cat's scores.
Tested (and sort of developed) by my two cats, Sonny and Cher, so if you have any complaints, complain to them!
Version 1.1
• the mouse has more tracks
• you can choose between 3 different mice
• you can choose between 5 different background colors
iPad and iPhone app: WHACK A PERP (game)
"Whack a Perp" is just a silly little game that'll take your busy mind off all the serious stuff for a minute or two. Nothing more, nothing less!
This is the story:
Nasty little bright colored funny shaped perps are on the loose in the big city and they are all planning to commit some nasty crime. Lucky for us, we have the police's description of the perp who's just about to steal, rob or B & E (breaking and entering!).
So your job is to watch the description of the police's most wanted criminal right now and whack the little perp before he commits his awful crime! But you have to be alert; the perps move fast, so the description keeps changing.
You get a point for each whacked WANTED perp, but if you accidentally catch the wrong guy, you'll lose a point!
If you whack 12 perps before the time runs out, you have won the game, and you can take the rest of the day (or night) off.
And that's what WHACK A PERP is all about! Have fun.

iPad app: GET THE PICTURE (puzzle game)
Get The Picture is a little jigsaw puzzle game. Or... SORT OF a jigsaw puzzle game. Instead of pieces of a picture, you get a lot of strokes and lines, which you have to put together. Without knowing what the picture is supposed to be! Not that easy! But you do have the option to get a little help, though. Get the picture?
The game contains 4 puzzles!
iPad app: PAWS OFF MY KEYBOARD, KITTY!
People have done it for years. Even little kids know how to do it. And now...
CATS ARE DOING IT TOO!
Cats click and type, cats browse, google and "proceed to checkout" and cats even have furry, online networks. Yes, the cat's out of the bag and it is now spending most of its time at your computer. And "Paws off my keyboard, Kitty!" is the iPad book app that tells all - and shows all - in a collection of comic strip style illustrations and captions.
As an added bonus, you'll get both Kitty's and the author's comments to every illustration.
Written and illustrated by me, Martine Carlsen.
iPhone app: CAT CLICKER
A really simple, easy to use cat clicker app for iPhone.
How it works:
When you touch the paw on the screen, your iPhone "plays" the clicker sound. You can choose different colors for the paw on the screen and set the background to either black or white.
You can also have your cat touch the screen of your iPhone with its paw, this way the clicker sound will be perfectly timed with the desired action.
The iPhone cat clicker app also includes these instructions on how to clicker train your cat and photos showing cats being clicker trained.
How to clicker train your cat
Start with the easy stuff; things that will come naturally to your cat, like standing on its hind legs to sniff something (like a treat) held over its head or touch a cat toy with its paw. And then immediately click and reward with a treat. It's very important that you click and reward immediately, otherwise your cat won't associate the action with the click and the reward.
Once your cat masters one simple "trick", go on to something slightly more challenging. But go slow, never force your cat and NEVER punish your cat, if it doesn't get it right away. This is meant to be fun for both of you!
iPhone app: LIGHT PAINT
Light Paint is a simple, easy to use light painting app.
You simply use your iPhone as a flashlight to create light painting photos, switching between different colors and brush shapes in a single photo.
Colors:
You can choose between 8 static colors or choose "Changing", which loops through all the colors. You can also choose to have the light blink, creating a dotted line when you paint.
Brush shape:
Choose between 3 different sizes of round brushes, a rectangular brush or choose 2, 3 or 5 smaller round brushes to paint with multiple lines.
Instructions:
The app includes a brief instruction on how to create light paintings.
