Like seriously people... is this stuff really needed in today's society.

"Does she want food or does her litter need to be changed? Sometimes, when your cat stares at you and howls, it’s hard to know. But now a Japanese toy maker is planning to release a gadget that can interpret a cat’s meow, called the “Meowlingual". The electronic gizmo will show a phrase on a screen and is expected to go for 8,800 yen ($74.62 U.S.) And the maker, Takara Co., hopes it will be just as successful as the “Bowlingual”, which translates a dog’s bark. So far, about 300,000 of the doggie items have sold in Japan and it is planning to release an English-language version in August for $120. But what if, after passing years and years assuming your feline or doggie companion was your best pal, your Meowlingual or Bowlingual told you that your favourite pet’s bark or meow actually meant: “I don’t like you?” That would be a sad situation. On the other hand, no one would ever have to ask Lassie: “What’s that girl? Tommy’s in the well?” ever again, because the translator would be able to say exactly where Tommy was."
