It's safe to say there's been a spate of "animals playing phone games" video virals hitting the web recently.

First there was the bearded dragon licking his way through a level of "Ant Crusher", then that was followed up by an African bullfrog chomping his owner's thumb trying to do the same.

Today, it's something altogether cuter, cuddlier, and, um, healthier - a cat playing "Fruit Ninja" on an iPad.

Pawing away at his master's beloved Apple tablet, it's like a bizarre clip from a animal talent contest. Which involves flying fruit. And cats.

For those not in the know, the iPad/iPhone game known as "Fruit Ninja" requires the player to "slice" their finger across flying fruit as it is slung across the screen - making it perfect for puss's ninja-like skills here.

Called "Кот играет в Ninja Fruit" ("Cat playing Fruit Ninja") on YouTube and uploaded by newcomer "Mack1094", it's the YouTuber's first video - and he's already got a hit on his hands. Nice work, that man.

Next, all you need to do is get an Old English Sheepdog to play Dance Central on an Xbox Kinect and you're laughing...
