		<description>Ok, here&#039;s the crazy thing...  while I never envisioned a CatBox 360, I have envisioned a video game for cats.

I have a 52&quot; hdtv I have hooked up to my pc.  In fact, I&#039;m sitting on the recliner right now surfing on a glorious 52 inches of high definition heaven.  It&#039;s really great for making surfing and watching youtube videos and such, something more of a group activity that the whole family or many friends can enjoy.

Well, of course, I also play video games on this set up and one of the games I play is World of Warcraft.  It was while playing WOW that I noticed my cats starting to watch the TV with great interest.  When I would stop moving in a highly populated area, such as the Trade District of Stormwind City, one of my cats, Murry, would literally go crazy trying to catch all the &quot;people&quot; running around the Trade District.  

That led me to think about creating a special Dance Dance Revolution type step-gamepad that was calibrated to a cats weight, and then create a simple video game designed to get a cat&#039;s attention, and then the gamepad to cause changes on screen that corrospond to where the cat steps on the pad.

This is a free bee idea to the masses of young computer engineers out there wanting to make a buck.  As far as I know, no one has made such a product and I&#039;ve had the idea for over a year.  I have too much on my plate already, so it is something I&#039;ll never persue.  

That said, if someone makes a real video game for cats, I&#039;ll buy it, because my cats love video games.</description>
