To be clear, it’s called “Cat Piano Jr for iPad,” and it gives you the taste of the full version with three cat noises. The noises are Furball, House Cat and, of course, Angelic Meow.
Furball really exemplifies the true essence of a whiny cat that is hungry or is stuck underneath the sofa again. It reminds me of my childhood.
