Cat Translator — hear what
your cat is saying

Cat Translator listens to your cat's meows, purrs, and chirps — and gives you a fun, playful translation. It's for entertainment only — but your cat will love the attention.

Talk to your cat in their language.

  • Calming, Feeding, Play & Cuddles, and Comfort phrase categories
  • Switch between Emotion sounds (meows your cat recognises) and Communication phrases
  • Plays straight from your phone — no extra hardware

  • Breed Identifier — top 2–3 breed matches with likelihood percentages
  • Optional question for breed scans (e.g. “Is this breed good with kids?”)
  • “About this breed” tips — visual estimate only, not a vet or DNA test

FAQ

Common questions.

Your cat's meows, purrs, and chirps are classified on your device using Apple's Sound Analysis framework. The app then turns that classification into a playful, creative translation powered by AI. It's designed for entertainment — the translations are fun and imaginative, not scientifically accurate.
Yes — while individual cats have their own personalities and quirks, the core vocalisations are consistent across breeds. The more you use the app with your own cat, the better you'll get at spotting patterns in your cat's translations.
No. The raw audio of your cat never leaves your phone — sound classification runs entirely on-device. To generate the playful translation, we send only a short text summary (a few labels and confidence scores) to our service. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Cat Translator requires iOS 18.0 or later. It's compatible with iPhone and iPad.
Absolutely. You can cancel anytime from your iPhone's Subscriptions settings. You'll keep premium access until the end of your current billing period.
Gustav the cat, Product Consultant and Lead Tester for Cat Translator

Built by cat people, for cat people.

We're animal lovers who got tired of guessing what our cats wanted. So we built Cat Translator — and discovered that our cats had plenty to say all along.

Meet Gustav, our Product Consultant and Lead Tester. Most of this app was built under close keyboard supervision and occasional paw approvals.
