Your cat is telling you something. MiaoSense helps you read it.

Analysis needs no internet. Your cat doesn’t wait for a signal.

Staged scene, image generated with AI. The mood and the detection frame shown are not staged: they come from running this exact image through the same on-device models the app uses.

Nine lives with a cat. And one question that keeps coming back.

Whether she moved in last week or has owned the same corner of the sofa for ten years — sooner or later you stand there wondering how she is right now. The answer is always in the same three signals: facial expression, posture, movement.

    The first cat

    Two weeks in, and every stretch and every silence is an open question. Point the camera, and the app shows an estimate of the mood — for this cat, in this moment. Not a search result written about somebody else’s cat.

  2. An older cat asleep in a patch of sunlight in a bright modern living room; an older person reads in an armchair further back.

    Ten years in

    After ten years you know every habit by heart, which is exactly why a small change is hard to place. The history puts today’s observation next to last month’s — a memory aid, not an assessment, and no substitute for a visit to the vet.

  3. A person on a sunny balcony holding a phone that shows a live view of a contented cat.

    Not home, still looking in

    You are at the office, or three cities further on, and the question is always the same: how is she right now? MiaoWatch uses a camera from your own network or — if you wish — an external webcam, and brings its picture onto your phone; the estimate is made there, not on somebody else’s server. You decide: which camera, which network, which screen.

  4. Two cats in a bright modern apartment: one close to the camera, the second resting further back in the sun.

    At home04

    Two cats, two profiles

    Two cats in one flat, and two completely different days. Each one keeps her own profile and her own history — the camera is on one cat at a time, and what gets noted stays with her.

  5. A young cat sitting in the sunlit foreground of a bright living room; a relaxed family dog lies further back on a rug.

    At home05

    The dog was here first

    A dog in the house, and for three weeks now a cat as well. Settling in is made of quiet moments, and they are easy to miss — the camera stays on the cat, not the dog, and shows an estimate of her mood while the two of them work out how much distance they need.

  6. A cat sitting on an examination table in a bright modern veterinary consulting room; a member of staff works in the background.

    At work06

    In the practice

    A waiting room is a hard place to be a cat. The same observation gives the team one more everyday impression to go on — never a diagnosis, and never a substitute for the examination itself.

  7. A cat on a shelf in a bright, clean boarding room; a member of staff stands at the doorway further back.

    At work07

    In the boarding suite

    Somebody else’s cat, and a week of being responsible for her. Every animal keeps its own profile and its own history, so the handover at the end is more than a nod and a smile.

  8. A cat sitting on a table in a bright modern cat café before opening; one person works behind the counter.

    At work08

    In the café

    Cats who spend the whole day among guests need somebody to notice when they have had enough. Posture and movement, read quietly from across the room, without handling the animal.

  9. A cat in the foreground of a bright shelter cat room; a volunteer works in the aisle behind.

    At work09

    In the shelter

    Every cat arrives without a history. Observations noted from the first day leave the next person on shift something written down instead of something remembered. Notes, not recommendations.

Staged scenes, images generated with AI. They show situations, not customer testimonials.

What the screen can tell you

Four moods, and an honest “Mood unclear”. Each screen below shows a staged scene that ran through the app on a phone. The label, the colour and the frame are what MiaoSense displayed for it. An estimate for this moment, not a certainty.

  • Relaxed

    A calico cat sitting by a sunny balcony door. The app shows: Relaxed, Medium confidence.

    Soft face, settled body, little movement. The calm end of the scale: on the sofa, in the sun, half asleep.

  • Alert

    A grey tabby cat on its hind legs reaching for a feather toy. The app shows: Alert, High confidence.

    Ears forward, eyes fixed on something: a feather, a bird, a sound in the next room. Alert means paying attention. Play or a pounce can follow.

  • Fearful

    A tabby cat with an arched back in a hallway. The app shows: Fearful, High confidence.

    Arched back, bristling fur, a low body. The app applies a stricter threshold before showing this, because a wrong reading would unsettle you for nothing.

  • Aggressive

    A tabby cat with flattened ears, hissing, in close-up. The app shows: Aggressive, Medium confidence.

    Ears flat, mouth open, a hard stare. As with fearful, the app applies a stricter threshold before this appears.

  • Mood unclear

    A tabby cat crouched under a chair. The app shows: Mood unclear.

    Half hidden, an odd angle, poor light: when the app’s confidence stays below its threshold, it says so instead of picking a mood, and leaves the moment out of the statistics.

Staged scenes, images generated with AI. Label, colour and frame are the app’s actual output for each image. Examples only, not a measure of accuracy: with a real cat, the result depends on light, angle and the individual animal.

Reading the cat’s face

Illustration of a cat’s head with ears turned forward, from the MiaoSense guide “Reading the cat’s face”
AI-generated illustration from the guide

Ears, eyes and pupils, mouth, whiskers, head: the guide “General knowledge: reading a cat’s face” uses 23 illustrations to show what to look out for in a cat’s face and what studies with groups of cats have observed. Short exercises invite you to look for yourself: which description fits this picture?

General knowledge, independent of your recording. The guide is separate from the mood estimate. The guide says nothing about your cat. MiaoSense does not show a reading of these features and makes no diagnosis. Your choices in the exercises are neither saved nor evaluated.

In the app: History → open a session → “General knowledge: reading a cat’s face”. You will find the guide after updating the app (from version 0.3.26).

What moves under the fur

Small muscles are behind many visible changes in a cat’s face. These illustrations show five of these movements next to a face at rest: on the left at rest, on the right with the movement.

Simplified, schematic illustrations, generated with AI. They show general anatomy, not your cat, and make no claim to veterinary accuracy. Pupil size also depends on light. MiaoSense shows no reading of these muscles or movements. This section is separate from the mood estimate.
