Why some cats can’t resist your tablet screen

If your cat has ever stared intently at your tablet, swiped at a moving screen image, or batted at your phone like it’s prey, you might have wondered: why do some cats become obsessed with screens? Believe it or not, there’s a mix of instinct, curiosity, and personality behind their tech fascination.

Cats Are Wired to Chase

Cats are natural hunters. Their eyes are highly sensitive to movement, especially small, quick motions—like birds, insects, or tiny digital objects. When something flits across your tablet screen, it can trigger your cat’s hunting instincts, turning your device into a high-tech prey simulation.

Entertainment or Engagement?

Some cats are content to just watch, mesmerized by the movement or sounds coming from the screen. Others actively interact, swiping and tapping to “catch” what they see. Apps designed for cats—featuring moving objects, lights, or sounds—can provide both mental stimulation and playful exercise.

Personality and Play Style Matter

Not all cats become iPad enthusiasts. Younger cats or highly curious personalities are more likely to become hooked on digital play. Meanwhile, laid-back cats might glance and move on. Even breed traits can influence whether your feline friend becomes a tiny screen addict.

Benefits of Digital Play

While it might seem silly, letting your cat interact with screens in moderation can:

Provide mental stimulation

Encourage light physical activity

Entertain indoor cats and reduce boredom

Keep It Safe and Balanced

Limit screen sessions to short bursts.

Avoid letting your cat chew cords, stylus tips, or screen protectors.

Mix in real-life toys and play to keep their instincts sharp.

The Modern Cat Quirk

From chasing laser pointers to batting at falling objects, cats have always been playful and curious. The iPad obsession is just the 21st-century version of this natural curiosity—and watching your cat try to catch a digital butterfly? It’s pure comedy and cuteness rolled into one.

Does your cat have a crazy obsession? My cat Gaston loves to play with straws and will literally steal them from our drinks. This funny video highlights his obsession.

Feel very bad now - ever since our houseguest left, Shuga is very upset 😢 He either clingy over the top or lying like this demanding attention. He clearly needs someone to run around with and Kika is not a runner! So we are back to drawing board, looking for sphynx kitten or young cat. But this time I want it to happen sooner rather than later #shugablackcat #firstworldproblems #catobsession #blackcatsofinstagram #blackcats #catsrule https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ob_xHHoyf/?igshid=119lpn71p5yeh
