The meowing is the fun part.
The rest is the useful part.

Underneath the translator sits the thing you'll actually come back for: plain answers about feeding, shedding, vaccinations and the signs worth worrying about.

Ninety-four ways to say no

From "feed me" to "I'll wash myself, thank you." Five come free; the rest unlock with Premium, and each one has its own illustration.

Recorded sound:

All complaints recorded

Saved translations are organized by date, great for resolving disputes and intriguing when the same mood appears at 6am.

How it translates a meow

One recording turns into a mood, a plain-language note and a saved history — plus a sound toy for slow afternoons and recordings that never leave your phone.

Try it before you decide it's silly

Birds, rustling, squeaks — the noises that make a cat's ears swivel. Good for ten minutes of play when you're stuck on the sofa.

Recordings stay on your phone

Sounds are processed on the device and saved only to your own history. Nothing is uploaded, sold or used to train anything.

Three taps, one opinion

Step 1

Catch the meow. Tap the mic and hold the phone somewhere near the cat. Five seconds is plenty. It works best when the room is quiet.

Step 2

Let it listen. The app looks at pitch, length and rhythm and matches them against its library of sounds. A short chirp and a long low complaint are not the same thing.

Step 3

Read the verdict. One mood, one illustration, one line of advice. Save it to history, play it back, or record again when your cat inevitably disagrees.

The part that isn’t a joke

Cats hide illness until it’s late. The guides inside the app are the plain, specific kind — what to watch, how often, and when to stop reading and phone a vet.

  • Written and reviewed by practising veterinarians
  • Adjusted for your cat’s age, not written for cats in general
  • Free to read — the guides are not behind the paywall

Food & water

Wet or dry, and why hydration matters

What people say after
a week of arguing with a cat

“Bought it as a joke for my partner. We now both check it every morning and refer to the cat’s 6am noise as the complaint. Worth it for that alone.”

“Stayed for the care guides, honestly. The piece on early signs of illness is the reason I took my elderly cat in a fortnight earlier than I would have.”

Questions people ask

Does this actually translate cats?

Not in the way a dictionary translates French. What the app does is match your recording against a library of catalogued sounds and give you the mood that fits best.

So is any of it based on anything?

The sound library is built from recordings tagged by behaviourists, and the care guides are written and reviewed by practising vets. The moods are a best match, not a verdict. The guides are the part we would stake a reputation on.

Can I use it to tell if my cat is ill?

No. A meow alone cannot tell you that. The early-signs guide lists the changes in appetite, litter, grooming and hiding that do matter, and says plainly when to phone a vet.

Why does it give a different answer for the same meow?

Background noise, distance and a shorter clip all change what the app hears. Record for the full five seconds in a quiet room and the readings settle down.

Does it work with kittens, or with dogs?

Kittens, yes, with a smaller set of moods until they are about six months old. Dogs, no. It will produce an answer, but it will be nonsense.

What happens to my recordings?

They stay on your phone unless you save them to history, and history is stored in your account, never sold. Deleting the account deletes them the same day.
