#52This reminds me of some people working on a cat translator[0] The paper this dataset links to [1] seems to be using statistical techniques to compare spectrograms of meows, something that seems pretty easy with fastaudio[2].

Having a cat, I have worked out a sophisticated translation lookup table: cat[] = meow meow meow meow meow translation[] = feedme feedme feedme feedme feedme So far, it is 100% accurate.
You're lacking a "plz gib scritches" and "me wants out" in the translation table.

#53Cats & dogs mostly communicate with body language so this is of limited use. A translator model would need video for training. I can’t wait for the day when I can point my iPhone camera at a dog and learn what it tries to communicate. In the meantime we can learn the fascinating language of dogs, http://en.turid-rugaas.no/calming-signals---the-art-of-survi...

#54Some birds have regional dialects. Do cats from different parts of the world speak different languages?

No idea why you are being downvoted but cats do not talk to each other either. It’s known that their meow evolved from the baby cries, to sound needy and annoying enough that you pay attention.

I have a cat, but am a dog person. The difference in intelligence is stinking. The cat can't communicate anything past meowing generically, whereas the dog can understand what I'm saying and bark on the one it wants. When my cat wants something, she'll meow uselessly until we chance on what it is. When my dog wants something, she'll come to me and touch me with her paw, and I'll say "Food. Water. Walk." and she'll ba…
I don't doubt that dogs are smarter than cats, but dogs are far more social and are motivated to learn by that social connection. Cats can also be trained, but it's a lot more work to keep them motivated. Cats do communicate a lot, but it's physical and sometimes subtle; eye contact, body rubbing, head butting, contextual waiting, and so on. Our cats very rarely meow unless they haven't been noticed, or, with the Nor…
Maybe my cat is just weird, she has brain damage:

Texan cats greet with "meowdy"

If the cat wants a scritch-scratch, she'll bat me with her paw.
The eagles and coyotes (I live in the middle of the city, go figure) would make short work of the cat if outside. The coyotes often hang out on the front lawn, and recently left a nice "you suck, Walter" message as a pile of poo by the front door. Had a bobcat wander by not too long ago. The coyotes don't approach me, but I'm not so sure about bobcats.
A couple weeks ago a gigantic eagle cruised by me at eye level, about 10 feet away. No way I'm going to tangle with that monster, and it's easily big enough to cart off the cat. The other cats in the neighborhood are indoor cats, too.
Once there was a juvenile coyote cut in half in the front yard. I figured it was that eagle.
Another time a ginormous owl decided to sit on the porch railing, staring at me, for quite a while. Yeah, it could easily have taken the cat apart.

Somewhat interesting we could get more collated homebrew recipes in 1997 than real cats meows in 2021
