All it takes is following the right Tweeters or liking the right Facebookers. Here are a few to add to your followers list and to add to that Facebook News Feed.

Jack Hanna: @JungleJackHanna

You’ve probably seen him on the Today Show or one of the many Late Night shows on television. Jack Hanna typically appears on screen with an exotic creature wrapped in his arms or perched on his bicep. Have a question you’d love to ask him about one of the many animals he’s had in his care? Simply tweet him any question you have, and he may just answer it.

If you are anything like me, then you have found yourself staring at someone’s iPad wondering why in the world he or she spent $499 - $799 on an oversized iPhone-that can’t even make phone calls. Just so happens that yesterday I discovered a use for this otherwise silly device. There is now an App for your cat to play on the iPad… What, you think that’s silly? Yes, a game has been created specifically for your feline friend to pass the hours. However, there is more to it than just that. 

Scientific Kittens

The truly intriguing part is the science behind the development of this App. It was created by Friskies and based on research related to the cats’ senses along with their reactions to other stimuli. Like I said, serious science went into this, not just some random fish thrown on a screen attempting to taunt a cat. 

I’ll admit it, trying to get my cat to play with anything for longer than a day is a challenge.  Catnip is about the only thing she’ll devout an extended amount of time to throughout the day.  However, I have the feeling this App might do the trick. This isn’t the only one available either. Check out these Apps your feisty feline can explore and start catching fish or multiplying treats.

How do you entertain your cat?
