We have domesticated cats, and I never feel anything like that from any of them. Sent from my Mac.

It’s the most obvious but it’s one that my impression is they use only for very course direct but not very detailed communication although many cats have hundreds of different utterances. The other thing that’s interesting is your garden variety house cat will meow and do tail shapes and mimic behavior for attention but wild cats or less domesticated breads have a much more complex communication and bond, especially with their people / owner. Dogs minds are subordinate to ours. You hear their owners frequently referred to as masters and dogs just love pleasing their person, something I don’t need to state much on here with the many guide dog users on the list. Cats though, again wild non domesticated cats have a very deep connection if they choose to bond with a person. I’m not a big believer in the super natural or psychic BS but the best way I can explain a bonding with a higher level cat is almost a telepathic exchange. My Lynx who I raised from a kitten was with me for 15 years and you would almost hear her talk but it wasn’t audible and it wasn’t a meow it was a feeling, somewhere between hearing a voice and having the impression you heard a voice. Not just simple things like water or hungry but things like “I’d like to go outside because there’s a bird I want” or “it will be ok” or things like that. Also she could (if she wanted to) follow complex directions. I used to let her out to patrol the perimeter when we lived out in the woods and would hear something outside. the most difficult emotional experience in my adult life by far was when she passed away and I felt that bond break. I have to this day not been able to get another pet or animal because the loss was so hard for me to deal with the last time. I kept hearing her meow for over a week after she passed and again I’m an atheist but it makes one wonder a little. Many people report similar experiences who interact with wild animals. Bird handlers have similar experiences and long wrong out relationships with their companion animals as some birds live longer than humans. There are peoples who live in Siberia who hunt with eagles and bond with them the same way from babies but they part ways when the eagle reaches 7 - 10 years old and full adult hood. The hunters say that the bird will tell them when they wish to move on and be free and they let them go and train another. So why mention any of this? I think it will be a long long time before there are interspecies translators that do anything useful. Communication is so much more than vocalizations. Cats for example express more with their tails than they do their larynx. Communication is very complicated. Some animals have even far greater complexity in communication than we do, some forms of whales are exponentially more complex in their language than ours. So that’s a long way of saying, no, the universal translator for pets is probably not available on iTunes. At least not yet.

It is a sound generator for things like white noise, rain or other sustained sounds. Human to cat translator is a fun app that you can record something you want to tell your cat and it translates into, well, cat speak.
