This is a very old product, but no less wacky: The Japanese company Takara Toys, now Takara Tomy, invented a device that translates a cat’s noises. The “Meowlingual” device is held next to the cat, and an interpretation will be displayed on its screen.
As far as I know nobody has yet tried to use the Meowlingual to ask a cat what it thinks of the Hello Kitty Cat Humiliation Kit.
This little gadget actually was introduced way back in 2003, and not a current invention as Weird Asia News suggests.
