"Virtual worlds have become more ubiquitous during our current
stay-at-home life. It’s not just video games such as “Fortnite”
redefining music gatherings and talk shows springing up in“Animal
Crossing.” Virtual worlds are so appealing that it turns out that cats
are gamers, too.

Well, sort of. There are difficult customers. And then there are cats.

Every cat owner knows that a cat will ignore an new expensive toy so
that it can play with, say, a pen cap that seems to bring the feline
total joy. But that hasn’t stopped game developer Willem Delventhal from
trying to get cats to more thoughtfully engage with digital screens."

Share and enjoy,
