iKitty ($0.99)
Version – 1.2
REVIEW – “Play naughty or nice with this interactive kitty!”
This is a game for cat lovers and haters alike. It can also double as a convenient distraction for small children, provided that you trust them with your iPhone/iPod Touch!
This interface of this app is simple. You are taken to a screen with a kitten and you interact with it by touching it. Touching it’s feet will play a game, touching one of its eyes will give it a poke. I found it pretty funny that if you are mean to iKitty enough times it will actually close out of the app itself!
Originally when this game came out it was designed as more of a “take care of the kitty” type of game. The idea was that you constantly had to make sure that your kitten was fed and taken care of properly. That functionality has been all but removed from the current version of this app. Although he does still sleep while you are away until you wake him up an d you still do get to feed him if he hasn’t been fed for a while when you start the app up.
There are several activities and things to do with the kitty facing you, but you can also turn him around by tilting your device until he rolls over. From the back you can pet him or pull his tail, depending on if you want to be naughty or nice!
Overall while there probably isn’t a lot of replay value with this app, it is definitely interesting enough for both cat lovers and haters to spend the $0.99 that this app costs to play with a little. So what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store and get your copy today!

“an adorable cat” Peter Cohen, Macworld.com
iKitty is a virtual pet that captivates both cat-lovers and cat-haters alike.
As a cat-lover, you now finally have the possibility to always have a happy little purring companion by your side that you can pamper and play with to your heart’s content.
As a cat-hater, you have many different options for tormenting iKitty.
In the new version, we’ve changed the concept a bit as the result of numerous helpful user evaluations and have given the kitten a few new features. iKitty is now always ready to be petted and played with and doesn’t have to be cared for several times per day like a Tamagotchi. We’ve eliminated the litterbox, which users previously had to clean with their finger.
Feeding time
When iKitty gets hungery, you can pull three pieces of dry food and three water droplets over its mouth with your finger. After that, iKitty is happy to cuddle and play.
Play time
Whenever you are ready for a game: iKitty is to. To start playing, simply touch one of its upper paws. The game itself is not complicated but can become quite difficult.
Touch the paws in the exact sequence that iKitty shows you. In each round, a paw is added – how long a sequence can you remember?
Cuddle time
iKitty loves to be petted. You will surely discover its favorite spots on its chest, neck and ears. You can turn iKitty over with a quick flip of the wrist and use two fingers to pet its back from top to bottom, for instance.
If you’ve caressed iKitty into a happy nap, you can easily wake it again by shaking your iPhone.
Caution: If you pet iKitty in unusual places like on the belly or fanny, it may come to pass that a belch or a fart escapes its bowels.
Torture time
As a cat-hater, you could of course also torment the cute little guy…
What cat-lovers definitely should not do:
• poke iKitty in one or both eyes
• pull iKitty by the tail or pet its back against the grain
• blow into the kitten’s bottom (by blowing into the iPhone microphone)
• turn your iPhone upside down
• shake your iPhone
• whiz iKitty through the air in circles by rotating your extended arm. Only perverted freaks do things like that!
