How Temptations Catterbox allows Cats to speak Human as trend towards Humans-Animal Conversations begins

“We’re fascinated by cats, so we set out on a mission to get to know them better. Through research, we learned that an adult cat’s meow is their way to communicate with humans and, by investing in this prototype device, we can start to improve understanding between them both — giving cats a voice for the very first time.”

Temptations’ global brand director Pete Simmons in an interview with AdWeek about their Temptations Catterbox product

Like playing with your cat using an AI Robotic Mouse as explained in my MICO Wars blog article entitled “How to sharpen your Cat’s Hunting Skills with the AI Robotic Mousr”?

Well, talking to animals in 2016 may soon be totally possible. This is thanks to the Temptation Catterbox, a 3D-printed collar designed by London ad agency adam&eveDDB that claims to make your cat talk human as reported in the article “Converse with your cat like never before with this new 3D-printed talking collar”, published April 30, 2016 By Lulu Chang, DigitalTrends.

Temptations Cat Treats is a company best known for making cat treats so this latest product takes cat love to a whole new level. For an even better explanation, check out this video on the, Temptation Catterbox, a clear winner for Most Innovative Product of 2016.


It is true that they only meow when talking to humans. In fact, the Egyptians called cats “Mau” by virtue of the sound that they make. Here’s a picture of this revolutionary product.
 

Clearly this is part of an ad campaign for London ad agency adam&eveDDB. Or maybe they're just goofing off with some extra money in their Ad campaign budget, with the company behind the product to be revealed later in a series of ads.

Still, the question on all Cat lovers’ minds is obvious: does this product actually work and where can I buy it?

Temptations Catterbox - Most Innovative Product of 2016 that's probably not real

Granted, this product probably doesn’t work.

It has no neural interface to connect to the cat's brain to allow them to control the device as in the case of the NSID's No More Woof Project as described in my blog article entitled “IndieGogo funded NSID's No More Woof Project aims to get Dog's talking


Also I’ve found no pricing or availability for this product, making me wonder if it is at all real. But if it is, it may come in at a similar price point as the No More Woof Project at around US$1200. Still, the concept is so damn tempting to imagine as real that it earns a spot on my blog.



Albeit an insane idea as pointed out in the article “At last! A cat collar that translates meows into human speech”, published April 30, 2016 by Chris Matyszczyk, CNET News this is highly desired among cat owners.

Cat owners that like to play with their cat by trapping them in circles as pointed out in my MICO Wars blog article entitled “How to trap your Cat in one Place as Cats love Circles”, will love this product, as they could ask why that is the case.



Temptation Catterbox would be especially be useful for the Zoological Society of London to keep track of the feral cat population that's eating off all the birds in England as noted in my blog article entitled “How UWI's Biotechnology Department, JSPCA, Telecom Providers and Zoological Society of London can track Feral Cats and Dogs”.

However, if this device really works, I'd like to use it to marshal a Cat army based on the 6 million Cats that live in Jamaica as described in my blog article entitled “Your Wild Life Cat Tracker Project and How the Jamaica Cat and Dog Migration Project would save Jamaican Birds” as scientists could finally ask cats answers for the many questions that have puzzled humanity from the dawn of time.

I give Temptation Catterbox two paws up.
