Now that you can interpret what your dog is saying, how about your cat?

Yoshimi Ogawa, president of Index Corp., shows off her company's surprise hit 'Bowlingual,' with her pet dog Meru at her office Friday, Mar. 14, 2003. Bowlingual, a gadget that the company developed with toy-maker Takara Co., deciphers the barks, growls and eomotions of a dog. Takara Co. is planning a similar gadget for cats called Meowlingual.

Takara Co, a major Japanese toy maker, said on Wednesday it would launch a device called the "Meowlingual" that can interpret a cat's meow, hoping to repeat its success with the "Bowlingual," a dog translation device.
Takara said the Meowlingual, a palm-sized electronic console that displays the interpreted phrase on a screen, will be priced at 8,800 yen ($74.62) and it would aim to sell 300,000 units by the end of March 2004.
Takara has sold about 300,000 dog translation devices in Japan since last year and plans to launch an English-language product in the U.S. market in August for about $120.
It has already rolled out the product in South Korea (news - web sites). The news hoisted Takara shares, which rose 5.68 percent to 781 yen by the midsession close.

:rofl:
No more discrimination.
Are there any buyers for the dog translator first?
