Cats. The first commercial software designed for nonhuman animals may be
a video game called "CyberPounce." In Cyberpounce, virtual flies, fish,
and mice entice the paw-batting instincts of house cats, who "hunt" for
the video images on a screen. "He [CyberPounce creator, Matt Wolf]
learned that cats can recognize activity on a television screen or
computer monitor, but most programming designed for humans doesn't
titillate them. Cats fixate on an object's color and movement patterns
rather than its shape, he said" (Krane2001:A6).

cursor across the screen when she's bored.
