I have an iPad. There are a bunch of apps out there that are meant to turn it into a cat toy. Lately, Hugo has been obsessed with them. He will come up to me if I’m using it, peer over the corner, and then get all huffy if a mousey isn’t running around on the screen. The kicker? He barely even touches it - he just likes to stare.

Linus, on the other hand, is kind of a kitty iPad game savant. This is a picture he made with PaintForCats.

OMG. So I’ve been thinking about getting my first tattoo - something for Bo ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE HE LEAVES ME FOR A TROPICAL ISLAND MADE OUT OF TUNA or something, and I was trying to come up with ways to get an image of his footprint. Problem solved. (Once I find someone with an iPad who will bring it to my house.)

Just FYI, it doesn’t record real pawprints, it kind of makes them up. The marks made depend on how the screen is touched. So like, if I tap it with my finger a certain way, it’ll give me a pawprint instead of the shape of my fingertip.

(I am typing this on the iPad and Hugo is sitting next to me, staring. WHERE IS THE MOUSEY?)

Anyway I think there are a couple of things you could try.. Take a really clear digital photo (really hard with cats!), and then use whatever photo editing software to change it to black and white, and then jack up the contrast until you get a pawprint. Or just be a big meanie for 15 seconds and use an ink pad or a bit of nontoxic tempera paint.
