MeowTalk Premium subscription allows you to access all meow intents and translations. MeowTalk Premium also allows you to train the app to learn your cat's unique vocabulary, use Auto-translate mode, keep track of your cat's meow translation history, and store the precious audio recordings of the meows on your device.
Our goal with MeowTalk is to help strengthen the bond between cats and their humans by giving them a voice. By translating their cats' meows with our MeowTalk app, owners can finally understand what their cats are trying to tell them, allowing them to better address their needs.
Human-to-Cat Translator actually performs audio analysis on your voice (for reals) and regurgitates carefully bastardized meows according to your input. Human-to-Cat Translator also includes a 16-meow soundboard for instant access to common cat calls.
Cats purr whenever they're happy, even while they're eating. Sometimes, however, a cat may purr when they're anxious or sick, using their purr to comfort themselves, like a child sucking their thumb. Growling, hissing or spitting indicates a cat who is annoyed, frightened, angry or aggressive.
Repeated meows may indicate that your cat is excited, while high-pitched meows can mean that your kitty is startled or hurt. Low-pitched meows express unhappiness and are a way for your furry companion to let you know you've done something wrong.
Cats lack the cognitive skills to interpret human language, but they recognize when you talk to them. To put it another way, cats comprehend human language in the same way that we understand meowing. It's similar to how you interpret your cat's language by "reading" how they arch their back or swish their tail.
Cats learn to identify their owner's voice, and regardless of whether they're wearing cologne, their skin emits a distinct aroma. It is a myth that cats do not recognize or care for their owners, as they can form strong emotional bonds with their human friends. Their recognition and comprehension differ from ours.
Squinted or half-closed eyes are a sign of affection, relaxation and trust. If a cat looks like they're about to fall asleep, they're relaxed and they trust you. Also, they're probably about to fall asleep. Fun fact: Cats also use their eyes to establish the pecking order.
Short meow or mew: Standard greeting. “Hello!” Multiple meows or mews: Excited greeting.
There's no universal cat language or glossary to help decipher what your cat is saying, but folks are working on it. In fact, researchers in Sweden are in the midst of a five-year study, Meowsic, aimed “at understanding how cats and humans use melody and other prosodic features when they communicate with each other.”
It appears that cats can sense human moods as well as depression. Cats are observant and intuitive, and this allows them to understand emotional cues from humans. So when you are depressed, they can sense that too. In particular, cats may come in closer proximity when their fur parents are depressed.
While it certainly can't hurt to meow at your cat, you may have an easier time if you just stick to your own human language! Cats meow at us to get our attention. They meow because they want us humans to do something for them.
You can use any verbal cue that you would like. One common verbal cue that cat owners will use is “Here, kitty kitty.” You can also use the words “come” or “treats.” The verbal cue should not be something that you already use, such as her name. You can also use various tones of voice.
Google Translator Toolkit was an online computer-assisted translation tool (CAT)—a web application designed to permit translators to edit the translations that Google Translate automatically generates using its own and/or user-uploaded files of appropriate glossaries and translation memory.
Every cat is different. While some cats enjoy being kissed, others will not. Some will feel love, while others will not see kissing as a sign of affection. There are better ways than kissing to show a cat affection that they will understand.
Yes, you read that right: A recent study revealed that getting your pet's attention is as simple as speaking with a high-pitched tone and extended vowels, just like how you'd communicate with a human baby. Additionally, the study suggested that your cat can actually tell you apart from strangers.
Direct eye contact
Cats can find direct eye contact quite threatening. They wouldn't look another cat straight in the face unless they were fixing for a fight. When your cat's relaxed, they might look at you with a peaceful gaze or half closed eyes. A “slow blink” is your cat's way of saying they love you.
Smell Transfer
Cats recognize each other (and us) by scent. Raising the butt is your cat's way of getting their anal glands closer to your nose so you can get a whiff of their pheromones.
One simple way to know if your cat trusts you is if her tail stands straight up, especially when she sees you or walks toward you. Some cat experts consider it to be a “thumbs up” in cat lingo. If the tail quivers slightly, it's even more indication that the cat has positive feelings toward you.
“In a way, cats think of us as bigger cats,” Bonk says. “They might not necessarily know that we're a different species or they just don't care.” Stelow suspects cats will treat their human caregivers with similar displays of affection they show toward other felines.
As explained by Popular Science, cats actually don't recognize themselves in the mirror, despite what you see in those cute cat videos or in your own home.
Easing Fears. Cats feel separation anxiety when their owners leave for extended periods of time, or when changes to the schedule are made abruptly. An emotional response to sudden shifts occurring at home, separation anxiety can be subtle enough that signs of distress are entirely missed or misunderstood.
