Secret Life of Non-Humans

You won't believe it, but my cat uses my computer while I'm at work! Sound familiar? This Wednesday, your playful pets are internet savvy!

The gist: Your marketing team has identified a new target that is extremely important to the firm. You think it's silly, but it turns out cats (and their brethren) represent 30% of the site's traffic. Your job is to redesign the interactions based on what you know of their physical and cognitive abilities. It also helps to know their typical activities and behaviors. Not sure what this will look like? Check out these great posts:

We'll be using Axure templates, and getting to intimately know a mix of reptiles, insects, birds and mammals this month. Expect a lot of laughter, plenty of conversation...and hopefully a better understanding of human factors and how to apply it.
