SAN BRUNO, Calif., April 16 (UPI) -- Apple's iPad, the tablet computer so popular in the United States that its international release was delayed, is also proving popular with U.S. cats on YouTube.

The video sharing Web site is rapidly filling with videos depicting the device being used as an expensive cat toy, with a search for "iPad cat" returning 385 results, including some with more than 20,000 views, Britain's The Daily Telegraph reported Friday.

The videos include cats chasing virtual string and butterflies and even playing the "Magic Piano" application.

Applications for the iPad include a popular and controversial download called "Cat Annoy," which creates eight different sounds designed to annoy felines.

The iPad launches internationally, including in Britain, next month.
