For some individuals, [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget) is the cats meow, but now your feline really can tweet with the 'Kitty Twitty.'

This communication device is the brain child of Mark de Vink who has created a [DIY wooden cat toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neko-yama) that actually tweets you when played with. The Kitty Twitty is a must for all feline-friendly enthusiasts, and may be able to bridge the communication gap between human and feline for the first time since Dr. Doolittle. Move over Rover, it's time for kitty to take over, and having this play toy will enable your feline friend to stay on the [cutting edge of technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auto-pet-feeder) daily. @Mittens may soon have more followers than Ashton Kutcher, and even if your cat only uses its Kitty Twitty for you, at least you will know your cat is thinking of you while you’re away.
