Cats, dogs, and babies -- it can be a challenge to understand them, but it is for sure that when they want or need something, they'll make it known, even if you don't really get them.

A former Amazon engineer who worked on Alexa and is now a project manager at Akvelon has unveiled a new app called MeowTalk that might help you with understanding your cat's meow, per Akvelon's press release.

Javier Sanchez was inspired to develop this tool for cats after watching the NPR series "The Secret Language of Cats", GeekWire reports.
