If you’re still on the fence about buying an iPad, here’s one more reason to get one: It will entertain your cat.

Friskies, the Purina cat food brand, has rolled out three iPad-based games for kitties — Cat Fishing, Tasty Treasures Hunt and Party Mix-Up! The video above shows cats “playing” the games. In case you think this is a joke, Friskies is quite serious. The games were created using HTML5/CSS3 and they work on other tablet formats, like Android, too.

Friskies isn't the first to launch an iPad game for cats though. There are a few others out there, but Friskies is the first one from a pet food brand.

The new app shows what lengths previously low-profile brands like Friskies have to go to these days to create social media chatter. In 2009, for instance, the brand introduced The Scratchington Post, a forum for cat videos, and introduced a sculpture of a cat made of cheese at SXSW.
