\"grumpier-cat\"<\/p>\n

While some of us might be terrified about the prospect of our cat talking and what it might say, others are enthused by\u00a0the idea, so much so that London agency\u00a0adam&eveDDB has developed a cat collar that translates meows into human speak.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking at the collar however – I can only imagine the first few words after\u00a0you strap this behemoth onto your feline’s neck will be of the four letter variety!<\/p>\n

\"hello\"<\/p>\n

The Catterbox<\/a>, modeled by the slightly startled kitty above, is a 3D printed device that’s coated in rubber lacquer – and “available in four different finishes”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Because\u00a0the device isn’t (and somewhat thankfully) hardwired into your cat’s brain it’s not 100% accurate. However\u00a0the creators believe it’ll give cat owners\u00a0a clearer insight into whether your feline is hungry, tired, lonely or requiring that all important bathroom break.<\/p>\n

Global brand director Pete Simmons says: “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\u2014giving cats a voice for the very first time.”<\/p>\n
