Temptations Made a Collar That Finally Gives Your Cat a Human Voice, So It Can Talk to You
Adweek ^ | April 28, 2016

Since the dawn of time, humans have been confounded by cats, those mystifyingly aloof creatures whose inner thoughts are famously inscrutable. But no longer! Temptations Cat Treats has invented a cat collar that lets your feline speak in a human voice—so you can finally understand (though probably not) exactly what she is trying to tell you.

The Temptations Catterbox, created by London ad agency adam&eveDDB, contains a microphone, speaker, Bluetooth technology and wifi. It captures the cat's meows and translates them into human speech—words that may or may not actually be what they're trying to say.

Cats who talk to me are usually asking/demanding for food.

I know what you mean. One of our five will sit on the floor next to my chair at dinner time. When he just can’t fight it any longer he reaches up with his paw, pulls my arm down, and I swear I hear him say “gimmedat!”.

A useless device.

Dogs have many different barks that have different meanings.

Cats have many different meows that have different meanings.

Both can read human body language.

Both can understand human speech, sometimes incredibly well.

Humans can understand what both are saying.

Useless collar is useless!

OUR CATS communicate quite well as they are thank you. They speak Catonese. Easily understood language.

You can have my PITA tuxedo kitty, Baxter.

“I want out”
“I want in”
“You didn’t top off my bowl”
“I want out again....maybe...looks like rain...I’ll sit on the steps and flip my tail and look at you”
“Now I want in again”

Hmm, Baxter sounds like a normal, demanding, humans are worthless unless I'm hungry, if you pet me in the wrong place I'll scratch your eyes out, Cat!

The Temptations came up with this? Is it just my imagination, or did my cat just say her papa was a rolling stone?
