Many years ago the Bowlingual translator promised to finally bridge the communications gap between humans and dogs. So the Meowlingual translator seems like an essential tool if dogs aren’t your thing and goldfish seem pointless.
Not only is it supposedly able to analyse the expression on a cat’s face and categorise it into one of six different moods, the Meowlingual can also translate somewhere around 200 words by listening to meows, and recognise 21 different emotions based on how your cat moves and behaves.
The device is making some grandiose claims and for $US169, shipped from Japan, it better deliver. But even if it’s only right two per cent of the time, it’s probably still worth every penny.

I have one for my dog, they are histerical. And to think, someone somewhere actually spent time decoding their speech.
