It's a cute idea, but something tells me it picks a phrase at random! I can't help thinking what would happen if you put it next to a really angry, growling cat and it said something like, 'Hi, how are you?'
Anyway, you can usually tell what a cat is saying from the tone of its meow. Still... I'd like to try one of those out on Jet, just to see what it said he was saying! :)
Talking of cat speak, I read something interesting that a French scientist who had been observing a mother cat and her litter discovered. When the mother brought a mouse for the kittens to practise killing, she made a certain noise, but when she brought a rat, she made a slightly different noise. When the kittens heard the 'rat noise' they acted more apprehensive. Clever cats!
