The team that helps cats
finally be understood.
Over a million cat owners in 100+ countries use Cat Translator every day. We started with a simple question: what is your cat actually trying to say?
Our Mission
Every meow
tells a story.
We build tools that turn the everyday mystery of cat ownership into something playful, warm, and genuinely fun. Our goal is technology that deepens the bond between cats and their humans, encouraging curiosity, play, and a closer connection every day.
How we got here
From a small apartment in Or Yehuda to over a million cat owners worldwide.
Company founded
SHALAT LTD is incorporated in Or Yehuda, Israel. Work begins on the core audio-analysis engine that would become Cat Translator.
First working prototype
Internal beta testing begins with real cats. The soundboard and meow-pattern features take shape, built on feline behavior research and audio signal analysis.
iOS launch
Cat Translator goes live on the App Store. First reviews arrive within hours. Downloads grow organically, week over week, driven entirely by word of mouth.
Android launch & 500K installs
Cat Translator arrives on Google Play. Within six months the combined install count passes 500,000. A new library of cat sound packs ships to celebrate.
1 million cat owners
The one-million-install milestone arrives. New features ship: AI-generated pet portraits, an expanded behavior guide, and a richer soundboard built from listener feedback.
The people behind it
A small team that cares about getting the details right.
