Make your kitty a part of your iPod

Anyone who has talked to me lately knows I am wild about my iPhone.

Best. Tool. Ever.

And the iPod Touch is great as well, especially if you don't want to get calls.

But a quick search on the Enterwebs found that pet-related apps are springing up. Now that we've downloaded every other conceivable app, it's time to download something worthwhile.

The screenshots here are from LOLCats, a free app that contains stuff like this, along with chat features, and since it is free, advertisements.


There also another free app called I Can Has Cheezburger, that contains LOLDogs too.

On the paid side of the fence (I am all for free apps — it has to be something real special to get me to cough up hard cash), there is CatPaint.

It's a "cat-based image editor" (whatever that means), allowing you — for 99 cents — to insert pictures of kitties into your photographs.

From the Web site:

CatPaint is an immersive and multi-sensory experience, wherein you can put adorable cats on top of your photos. Also, they mew. With just a few touches, you can take a photo, cover it with cats, and send it off to your friends and family.

To get started, simply pull out the litter-box drawer to select a kitty, then tap anywhere to place it. Should you misplace a kitten, just gently shake your iPhone or iPod Touch like an Etch-a-Sketch to Undo. Shake a little and one cat will disappear, shake a bunch and clear all the cats and start again.

It's not that easy in real life.
