If you like the idea of having a conversation with your pet cat then you better look away now. Flam, a cat in Nashville, Tennessee, may well be the first of its kind to have had a conversation with a human being. But sadly, as documented on video, the little chat didn't go down that well with the feline.

I am fairly fluent in cat. That last was a challenge a male cat was not going to ignore.

The cat really took a whack at her. I think the translator said, “Michelle Obama is planning your meals from now on”.

Looks like this person is a stranger to the cat.

Possibly the cat would not have been aggressive, if the cat’s own servant was the one running the app. ??

Conversation with the help is not necessary or desired.

I believe we humans get along well with cats and dogs because they don't talk.
So don't start it. It will not end well.

I have three male cats and my wife once used a phone app with different types of cat meows. It is curious how some of them affect our cats. From curiosity, to fear, to aggression like the cat in the video.

It sounded like a challenge, one cat calling out another.

No wonder the cat popped her. Those were the calls of a perturbed, distressed cat. The cat could see the human wasn’t making those noises. Probably thought she was doing something bad to another cat. You know, when it comes to dealing with animals, it really pays to be smarter than the animal.

at-to-human translator

Should have about a three or four word vocabulary.
