AI researchers and developers are indeed exploring ways to decode cat vocalizations using machine learning.
Tools like "MeowTalk", an app developed by a former Amazon Alexa engineer, aim to translate feline sounds into simple human phrases based on vocal patterns and behavioral context.
Each cat has a unique "meow vocabulary," and current AI models attempt to train on individual cats' tones, pitches, and situations to determine what a sound might mean—such as "I'm hungry," "Let me out," or "I'm in pain."
While the technology is in its early stages and not scientifically validated to be accurate across all cats, it reflects growing interest in cross-species communication using AI.
This field is part of a broader trend called Bioacoustic AI, where algorithms are trained to understand and respond to non-human vocalizations—including those of whales, elephants, and dogs.
Researchers stress that emotional cues, context, and individual variability still pose major challenges, but progress is being made.
