About Cat Translator

Cat Translator converts English into two distinct feline languages: Cat and Stormy. Each word in the dictionary maps to a specific cat sound. Numbers, digits, and color names always pass through unchanged.

---

Cat Language

The standard cat dialect. Every known English word maps to a unique cat sound — meows, trills, hisses, chirps, purrs, and more.

There's a catch: each word has a 50/50 chance of simply becoming "Meow" instead of its real translation. Cats don't always feel like cooperating.

---

Stormy Language

Stormy is an extended form of Cat. Every vowel cluster in a cat word gets stretched out by four extra characters, turning "Meow" into "Meoooooow" and "Purrrr" into "Purrrrrrrrrr".

Stormy also has its own exclusive vocabulary — words that exist only in Stormy and have no Cat equivalent. These include intense emotional states, curse words (censored), and Stormy-only concepts like zoomies, chaos, and betrayal. Stormy special words always translate fully — the 50/50 rule does not apply to them.

Output words are color-coded — no labels, just color:

Tangerine — standard cat word
Purple — stormy extended word
