Cats are active animals and excellent hunters. In the modern world, they often live in apartments and do not go outside. It can be difficult for fluffies to release their pent-up energy without damaging the furniture or breaking a vase. Do not scold your pet under any circumstances, even if he has done something mischievous. It is not your pet’s fault that there is no place in the living space to exercise the hunting abilities that nature has given him. It’s better to install games on your phone or tablet that are designed specifically for cats. They will keep your pet occupied for a long time and help keep home furnishings intact.
Computer and mobile games for cats: features
Most cat games are based on colorful characters moving around the screen. Usually animation is performed in the form of a variety of fish, mice, bugs and bright spots. Watching them, the playful kitten will probably want to hunt and try to catch moving objects.
It is important to note that cats see the world and all objects in it not as bright as humans. This is caused by a different set of receptors on the retina. Therefore, instead of the above characters, cats follow faded and blurry spots moving across the screen. They don't pay attention to small details. In this case, cat's eyes perceive images at a speed of 40 frames per second. Therefore, they see all videos made for a person in slow motion.
Cats see colors dimmer than humans, but their vision is not black and white, as people once thought
My cat is ten years old. About two years ago, he still showed interest in color pictures on the screen, but did not play any games, and certainly did not jump on painted birds. Surely the fact is that he is used to real toys: mice, bows and balls. Such methods of entertainment still interest him. A friend's cat is less picky in this regard. From an early age, he is interested in flickering pictures on TV, on a computer screen, and even in mirror images of himself. Therefore, he immediately showed interest in playing games on the tablet. Although it only lasted for a few minutes, it was more a matter of his age-related restlessness.

The Mary Deakin Medal is an analogue of the Victoria Cross medal, only for animals. Nearly seventy animal heroes have received the highest military award for valor since its inception, and thirty-two medals have been given to pigeons. During World War II, feathered heroes delivered messages and saved the lives of one in seven crews of aircraft shot down over the sea, according to the Royal Air Force. And the number of planes shot down is four digits. And a pigeon named William of Orange, on its wings alone, saved about two thousand soldiers in the battle for the Dutch city of Arnhem: William flew four hundred kilometers in four and a half hours and delivered an important message to the British headquarters. In short, pigeons earned their status as a symbol of peace not through beautiful feathers, but through a real struggle for peace. “Valiant” will tell the story of a young feathered fighter who dreamed with all his tiny heart to serve in the Royal Dove and service. And I dreamed: yesterday’s chick, together with not the most experienced comrades, is sent to occupied France and entrusted with the delivery of an important message. But German falcons keep a vigilant eye on the skies above the battlefields and are ready to sink their talons into any unwary pigeon.
Trailer:
Presumably, the prototype of Valiant was Mary of Exter, a dove who survived several bullet wounds and fights with predators, but time after time returned to the front and delivered secret messages for five war years.
Games for cats online
To entertain your cat, it is not necessary to download and install special applications. Nowadays there are many games that are launched online. That is, to use them you only need an Internet connection. The essence of most online games is the same as downloadable applications. The cat needs to hunt and catch moving targets.
One successful example of such games is Pull N' Play. A funny character from this game makes pleasant sounds and quickly moves across the screen. You can control his jumps using the mouse, thereby adjusting the speed of his movement and the frequency of the squeaks made.
You can also try to interest cats with flash games such as Playful Kitten. Since computer monitors often do not have a touch surface, and the cat can only observe what is happening, he may be interested in a meowing fluffy catching a ball of thread.
If you want to entertain your pet, make sure that the gadget’s screen is covered with a protective film.

The once-favorite plush toy sticking out of a garbage bag looks less pitiful than Chizhik, the main character of this cartoon. Siskin's only friend is a ladybug, and being friends with food is definitely not the best way to earn authority in the flock. And blatant lies are also not a top path, but it turns out that Chizhik becomes the leader of the birds preparing to fly to Africa precisely because of lies. The character has no experience, no charisma, no fortitude - nothing that the deceased leader Darius had. The latter died bravely from the paws of cats and in his dying minute managed to convey important information about the flight to Chizhik. And Darius saw his nephew Karl as his successor, but no one knows about this. The siskin takes air into its fragile lungs and lifts the flock into the air - not everyone is given such a chance to gain respect and should not be missed.

Birds and nature
Of course, many cats like birds. Chirping and loudly chirping creatures can awaken the hunting instincts of even the most domesticated animals. Show your pet games of feathered creatures and watch his reaction. Perhaps these are the films that will interest your cat.
Video of chirping birds
The cat sat on my lap the entire time I was selecting a video for this article. In response to many movements on the screen, he only lazily raised his head and continued to doze, but the next video with birds feeding on the bridge really interested him. The cat stood up and watched with interest what was happening in the video for more than ten minutes.

The guards provide peace to the inhabitants of the bird paradise - they patrol Zambezia and protect it from enemies. Working as a guard is the dream of Kai, a young falcon who until recently lived with his father and did not know about the existence of the bird city. Kai's father was categorically against his son's flight to the big world of birds, but nothing can keep the young and strong falcon from his goal. And Kai decided to move to Zambezia in time: the bird paradise is in danger, and strong feathers will not interfere with the guards.

Movies and cartoons for cats: features
The main feature of films and cartoons for cats is the presence of a plot in them. The cat is not only shown various rodents, birds, fish and other living creatures, as in the videos described above, but also told some kind of story in the process. Such films and cartoons will be interesting not only for animals, but also for their owners. If your cat has ever seen an aquarium or watched birds through the window, then he will also like this pastime. Try different options, as cats like different videos depending on their personality and habits. Some will appreciate the smooth movements of colorful fish, others will appreciate the frisky squirrels, and still others will enjoy the jumping and chirping birds. Experiment and you will probably be able to find interesting videos for your pet.

A cartoon about a swift that was raised by seagulls. External differences from his flock do not bother baby Manu, but having failed to prepare the young animals for the big flight, the little one began to think about his future. No matter how diligent and energetic Manu is, the swift is not able to dive for fish and swim, and the wingspan of seagulls is much larger. And, since the plot is clearly inspired by The Ugly Duckling, Manu still has to meet representatives of his species and decide who he really is.

Games for cats on Android
Applications for phones and tablets are good because, thanks to the touch screen, the animal can independently catch a mouse or other prey. Most developers have made applications for cats multi-level. Thanks to this, the difficulty of each new stage in the game increases, which helps to develop a reaction and prevent the cat from losing interest in what is happening on the screen. Of course, the larger the screen of your gadget, the more convenient it will be for your pet to play.
Crazy Cat
The main feature of this game is the possibility of playing together. If you have an Android and a tablet with Bluetooth functionality, you will be able to control the game characters on one device, while the cat will catch them on the other. When a character is caught by a cat, points are awarded.
The game uses lizards, butterflies and mice with funny animations as bait for the cat.
Cat Alone
The idea of the game is extremely simple: movable objects appear on the screen that the cat needs to catch. The bait used to attract the animal may look like a laser pointer, fly, butterfly, finger, cockroach or ladybug. After trying all the options, you can find the one that will be more interesting for your pet.
Many cats and their owners liked this game, so the developers released a new version with a mouse, a spider and other characters
Electronic cat toy CAT ALONE. ADVANTAGES: Attracts attention, albeit not for long DISADVANTAGES: Over time, even a cat can get bored There were mice running and squeaking, creepy spiders crawling, buzzing flies flying, a feather and a laser beam were moving around all the corners and sides of the screen... What was there for the cat’s pleasure . But our darling only spent the first few minutes hunting virtual mice and lost interest in this idea. I don’t delete this entertainment from the tablet, but I don’t try to lure the cat with it anymore either - I know that he will no longer show interest in it.

Cat Fishing
If you think your cat likes fishing more than hunting, try installing the Cat Fishing game for him. Instead of numerous birds and insects, your pet will find fish in it. Beautiful bright animation and various levels of difficulty will interest not only the cat, but also the owner himself.
The number of fish and the speed of their movement depend on your pet’s success in fishing
Game for Cats Paw Me

We exchange emperor penguins for crested ones, singing for harvesting fish, and dancing for surfing. This is another cartoon about a black and white cutie who went against his family and the system to do what his heart asks for. Mumble wanted to dance, and crested Cody wanted to conquer the waves, and the young penguin also left his native place to find himself and fulfill his dream. Here the characters with wings look much more like people than in Happy Feet, but otherwise the cartoons are similar. "Catch the wave!" He even repeated his nomination for the Oscar, but lost the award itself to Ratatouille.
