A voice with character
Talk with your cat’s advocate using the cat’s name. Character voices and expressive meows give the experience its own sense of fun.
Conversation prototype tested on Android01 / The idea
One cat.
Three connected parts.
An advocate with character, a planned pair of devices and care information for each cat. Here is how the BatCat idea fits together.
One cat. Three parts of BatCat.
A personal advocate, a planned device pair and care information for each cat. Explore how these parts fit the product being developed.

Step 1
A lasting cat identity
Product directionOne cat’s identityName · History · Advocate characterThe plan is for your cat’s identity, history and advocate personality to stay with the cat when devices are swapped. The advocate is an AI character.

Step 2
A planned pair of devices
Planned kitComplete device AWorn · planned exampleComplete device BCharging · planned exampleTwo complete interchangeable devices are planned for each cat: one worn while the other charges. Swapping their roles is the intended model; the full wearable experience still needs validation.

Step 3
Care organised per cat
Local prototypeHomeSelected cat’s overviewCalendarSelected cat’s careThe local owner-app prototype has a separate Home and Calendar for each cat, with manual care notes and reminders. The website tour uses fictional examples of this approach.

These are parts of a product in development. The advocate’s words do not translate a cat’s thoughts. Device specifications, prices and launch timing remain unconfirmed.
A connection to their world
The planned wearable system brings connected devices into the experience. Location and surroundings are part of the product direction.
Wearable integration in developmentEveryday care, together
The owner app brings each cat’s records, reminders and care information together, with manual entries where connected data is unavailable.
Local owner-app prototypeThe advocate is an AI character. Its speech and meows do not translate a cat’s thoughts or prove how a cat is feeling. Real animal monitoring still needs validation.

12 features to explore
A personal advocate
A character and voice representing your cat. Speak using your cat’s name, with characterful replies and expressive meows.
Where development stands
Human-tested wake, reply and follow-up interactions on Android. The complete wearable-to-cloud conversation remains a separate validation step.
Help with the everyday setup
A more focused owner assistant explains care, safeguarding and the main app controls.
Where development stands
Grounded setup guides and voluntary chosen-name memory are implemented locally. Owners can edit or forget the name. Guidance leads to controls; conversation does not commission a device or change its settings.
Each cat, their own space
A separate Home, preferences, calendar and care history for every cat in the household.
Where development stands
Multi-cat record separation is demonstrated in the local owner app. Production accounts and customer commissioning still need delivery validation.
A calendar that keeps the story
Browse dated notes, care entries and upcoming reminders in a seven-day calendar.
Where development stands
Local calendar views, entries and reminder completion/cancellation are implemented. The website tour uses fictional examples held only in this page.
A nudge for everyday care
Plan one-off or repeating reminders, with optional phone notifications.
Where development stands
Notification receipt has been demonstrated in limited phone tests. Permissions and synchronisation are required; longer operation, quiet-time and reboot behaviour remain open.
A history you can review
Add observations and owner-entered weight, review changes and correct an entry when needed.
Where development stands
Manual wellbeing records and correction history work locally. Connected clinical sensors, diagnoses and inferred feelings are outside the verified scope.
Care summaries, on your terms
Review daily facts or prepare a summary over a chosen period.
Where development stands
Seven-day, thirty-day and custom reports up to 31 days use the local records. Preparing a summary does not contact a vet or establish a clinical finding.
Two devices. One identity.
One complete unit worn, one charging. The identity, voice and history stay with the cat.
Where development stands
Device-role swaps are simulated in the owner app. Connected commissioning, endurance, fit and real device swapping still need hardware validation.
Location and safe zones
Define a zone boundary and review location settings, with connected tracking part of the device direction.
Where development stands
Map and zone configuration interfaces exist locally. Live wearable GPS, reliable crossing detection and delivered zone alerts are not established.
Alerts that fit your day
Choose your alert preferences and quiet times in the owner app.
Where development stands
Preferences are saved locally. Wearable battery, offline and zone events still require connected delivery and reliability testing.
A cat’s-eye view
The connected brief includes authorised camera and audio sessions from the wearable.
Where development stands
Real wearable camera, remote recording and two-way talk are not connected in the current owner prototype. Media transport, permissions, power use and field behaviour need validation.
Activity, rest and roaming
The goal is to help owners understand everyday patterns using available observations.
Where development stands
Worn telemetry, individual baselines and accuracy checks are required. Current cat animations illustrate behaviour; they are not a live measurement of your cat.
