There is little wonder that Ancient Egyptians considered cats to be divine. Sometimes haughty and aloof, at others goofy and downright silly - these gorgeous creatures make our lives so much better. There are many ways to interact with them and make sure they're also having a great time. Obviously, a catnip-filled toy will always be a good option, but there are other ways to have fun with your feline. An interactive game like Pocket Pond 2 will be entertaining both for you and your kitty.

Obviously, you won't always be around to keep your feline company. Work, chores, friendships, and romantic relationships can all stand in the way. Sounds terrible, doesn't it? Don't let your favorite pet become bored. There's a way to help them stay perky and alert even when you're not home. A house cat will be easily amused by an app like Cat Alone - allowing it to hunt for virtual creatures on your tablet screen and literally have hours of fun. You'd be surprised how convenient this solution can be.

Another thing that will get any cat going is the loud meowing of another member of its species - or indeed the noise made by any other animal. Their natural instinct will kick in, and they will become much more alert - and ready to play. If you're not particularly good at mimicking the sounds of nature, a smartphone app will easily serve the purpose. Just make sure that the software is able to operate offline - and let the fun begin. Your children will also be mightily amused, and you may teach them a thing or two about wildlife in the process.
