I don’t own an iPhone so I can’t vouch for this app, but it does look pretty cool for you (er, us) crazy cat people.  It’s a virtual cat for your iPhone.

You remember the “virtual pet” craze from a few years ago?  Well, this is the same thing in a new package.

You can see the app in action on the video to the right. 

I must say it’s pretty amusing.  I especially like the use of the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer to allow positioning of the cat.

You can read more about the app here and read about the possible new features, including virtual fleas.

BTW: it seems that the other iPhone app made by this company is “La Cucaracha ,” whch allows the owner to ‘massacre ‘ virtual cockroaches by the thousands.
