I’m pretty sure that most pet owners feel they can communicate
with their furry, scaly or feathered friends, and cat aficionados are no
different. After all, why else would we bother having detailed and sometimes
even heartfelt conversations with them?
Still, if you fancy having those daily chats in a mutual
language you may not have long to wait, as a British company have developed something
quite extraordinary that allows you to do just that – the Catterbox.
No, it’s not April 1st, they really have designed
a collar which they claim translates your cat’s meows into a language you can
actually understand.
Currently at the prototype stage, I would bet there’ll be plenty
of cat fans out there willing to fund this into reality.
Myself, I’m not so sure I am ready for that. I kind of enjoy
thinking I already know what every squeal, purrrrrr and meow my Ginger Pudd is
conveying. He very definitely has a Star Trek commander kind of approach, think
clipped instruction like this.
