Level Up Your Pet's Playtime with These Surprisingly Awesome Finds

3. Meowlingual and Bowlingual Interpreters

What It Does: Interprets the emotions expressed by your cat's meows and your dog's barking.
The price is $55 on eBay. Woman's Day referred to this as an "unbelievable pet product," and we kind of agree. This Bowlingual Dog Translator, available from the Japanese Gadget Shop, records the barking of your dog. The sound is then sent from the collar microphone to a gadget that resembles a walkie-talkie.

The gadget interprets your dog's bark to identify the mood it is experiencing and shows the "translation" on an LCD screen along with one of the six emoji emotions. The answering machine on the BDT can be remotely turned on while you're away from home. It will then record and translate any bark your dog makes so you can hear it at a later time. A "Meowlingual" version is also available; it functions in the same way but displays a cat's meow.
