~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Real cat people are so in tune with cats that they are able to communicate at a psychic level. No words, no meows, no growls, no hisses. They and their animals just know what's in the other one's heart and mind. So the very idea of a translator is absurd. And here is a story that proves it.

Was it something I said?

Furious cat stalks over to a lady and takes a swipe at her after she uses cat-to-human translator app to 'talk feline

The translator app talks to the cat in a series of meows

Intrigued, the cat approaches the woman and climbs her leg

Before pouncing at her with its paw and baring its teeth

The video was captured in Nashville, Tennessee, USA

In the clip is Penny Adams, a professional photographer who volunteers her time at the Cat Shoppe Rescue centre.

Sitting on the floor, she announces to the camera that she is holding a cat-to-human language translator on her phone.

Penny, who doesn't herself know what it is being translated by the app, activates the meowing sound and immediately Flam, who sits underneath a table, becomes noticeably intrigued. Jumping up, the feline negotiates a number of dumbbells on the floor before making its way towards Penny.

With its tail poised, the cat maintains its eye-contact while lifting its paw and climbing up onto her leg. Suddenly it lashes out at her – opening its mouth to bare its teeth it strikes her with its paw.

Reacting by blocking the cat with her arm, Penny laughs in surprise as the insulted feline continues to bare its teeth before scuttling off.

Continue reading and watch video of the attack, as well as an additional video of a genuine cat-to-cat conversation.

According to Penny, she had visited Kate Framke's home – Flam’s owner – to photograph her other cat Waffles for a fundraising calendar for The Cat Shoppe.

After struggling to get Waffles’ attention with toys and treats, Penny used her human-to-cat translator app as a way of getting the cat to look at the camera.

Penny said: ‘It worked, but it also got an unusual reaction from Flam, who proceeded to walk up slowly and pop me in the head. We laughed so hard.’

She added: ‘Who knows what the app was really saying in cat voice, but he sure didn't like it.

’The Cat Shoppe is Nashville’s first feline-friendly shop that sells a number of cat-related products and also runs a non-profit cat rescue centre.
