The iPad: A Cat's Perspective
by Mike Krumboltz


The recently released iPad is, in the words of Apple cofounder and CEO Steve Jobs, a "magical and revolutionary product." That may be true from the human perspective, but how does the feline species feel about the touch-screen device?

One cat owner aimed to find out. He placed his iPad in front his cat, Iggy, to see just how user-friendly the device really is. Watch below for the results...

As you can see, Iggy finds the device quite user-friendly. Not shy about diving in with paws first, the curious cat especially enjoys creating music on the iPad's piano. If only it came with a yarn app...

Cats dig it, but what about their arch rivals: dogs? Here's a video that shows Chloe the canine's experience with the tablet. Chloe, after some initial paw-padding, backs away and barks at Steve Jobs' wonder-product. She must be more of a PC pooch.

I gotta tell you, I'm technologically out of the loop.

But why is everyone obsessed with the iPad? Why is it on tv, the news, evening programs? Why all the free advertisement fellatio for Apple?

Honestly, wtf? It's a big iPhone -- too big to be portable, too weak to be a notebook. What niche does it fill, fulfill what need, improve what deficit?

Confused

It makes Jobs even richer?

My cat likes to be fed first thing in the morning.

I use my i-touch for an alarm clock

So, when the cat stepped on the i-touch and made my alarm go off at 4:32 a.m. I had to conclude that she liked the thing.
