This document discusses strategies for communicating effectively with cats. It suggests that the best way is to understand a cat's body language and adapt one's voice and tone accordingly. For example, using a louder, happier tone when pleased with the cat rather than screaming when upset. An app is proposed that could translate messages to cats into meows with the proper vocal tones to help owners communicate their intent more clearly to their feline companions.

You know that when your cat waves his tail
is usually happy and you understand some
of his meows, like I want food or You
stepped on my tail, but its not very easy

knowing exactly what they want, and you
need to manage this behavior to share your
home with this small and friendly pet.
