You haven’t cleaned the litterbox in what, two weeks now? It’s all well and good that you’ve acclimated to the overwhelming stench of ammonia and kitty poop but what about when guests come over? With some minor mods and a little electrical engineering, you can keep your home from smelling of feline by-products without actually having to be a responsible pet owner and clean up!
Of all the trends to close out 2011, I couldn’t be happier with the emergence of Animals Playing Games On Gadgets. First came the agile-bearded dragon, then the vicious African Bullfrog, and now, in perhaps the most impressive display yet: a cat that is very, very good at Fruit Ninja.

Kitty! is an iPad app that shows off a highly detailed, 3D virtual cat that you can play with. It’s not like a Tamaguchi pet though — you don’t raise it — but it’s pretty interactive and reacts to your touch.
