OK, Google, who's a good boy? For its April Fools' prank this year, Google unveiled apps for your cats and dogs for both iOS and Android, giving the internet to our furry friends. After countless cute photos and memes of puppies and kittens, it's only fair we let them browse through it, too. Welcome to the internet, cats and dogs, please don't dig through my Twitter history. The search engine giant has built a reputation out of April Fools' Day, tricking visitors each year. Last year's "Drop the Mic" joke backfired when it got rid of a feature that people actually use on Gmail. As part of its long-standing April 1 tradition, the company has also hinted at Pokemon Go two years before it actually came out, declared an end to YouTube and announced the Google Nose wearable.
"Wouldn't it be great to keep them occupied when we're not around?" asks the Google commercial for the April Fool's gag as the camera pans to an expectant-looking cat sitting in a suitcase, staring up at its soon-to-be-leaving owner. For most pet parents, the answer is obviously yes. It'd be nice to know that your dog has sometime else to do other than sleep, stare out the window, eat your shows, or bark at the neighbors. Or something that might entertain your cat enough to discourage him/her from plotting your ultimate downfall. The "I'm Feeling Woof" (or "meow") options on your devices would not only allow your pets to stimulate themselves mentally, but would also lower your guilt for most likely making their existences revolve around being scratched behind the ears and waiting to be taken outside when you're in the mood.
