catpianomeowWelcome to another edition of Wacky App Wednesday, where I share some of the craziest, wackiest, and most awesome apps in the App Store. Last week I shared the super fun interactive children’s book app Petting Zoo from Christoph Neimann, and this week, I have another animal themed app to share, though I will admit, it’s a good bit sillier!

Cat Piano is a music making app. It’s essentially a virtual keyboard, which can play normal piano sounds, but it also comes with a fun add-on that will whip your pet kitties into a frenzy. That’s right, Cat Piano offers up meow sounds, so you can play through your favorite piano songs with a series of meows. Imagine Happy Birthday or Chopsticks all in meows – it’s both awesome and horrifying all at once.

The New York Times reported that Apple’s iWatch (as it has been deemed) might be made of curved Willow glass, flexible enough to wrap around a wrist, and according to Bloomberg, Apple has a team of 100 product designers working on the watch. Let’s hope those designers churn out something impressive, because as it turns out, Samsung is hard at work on its very own smart watch.
