Introducing Temptations Catterbox™ - the world’s first talking cat collar designed to let cat lovers chat with their feline friends like never before!
A purrfect prototype for a custom collar, Temptations Catterbox™ will give cat owners the tools to communicate with their pets better starting from their moggys miaow – it really is the cat’s whiskers!
Housing a microphone, speaker, Bluetooth technology and wifi, Temptations Catterbox™ allows a cat’s miaows to be recorded. The prototype device which fits on the collar of your furry friend, was developed after extensive research into cat behaviour. The device identifies a cat’s miaow with a digital sensor and uses a unique programme to turn it into a human voice. A completely new, breakthrough device, the Catterboxcollar™ is set to take interactions with our feline friends to another level!
The clever Temptations Catterboxcollar™ listens for a “miaow” sound from chatty cats, then based on this sound uses a unique custom miaowalgorithm to detect if this in fact a miaow, or another sound. If the 'miaowalgorithm' gets a match, the Catterboxcollar™ will play a phrase chosen by the owner from a range of human voices to represent their cats personality.
LEDs are mounted on the face of the display to show the device is active, and the comfy collar is coated with rubber lacquer for an exclusive, active look and feel to let your feline go with the flow.
And for the ultimate personal touch, the Catterboxcollar™ also connects to the Temptations Catterbox™ smartphone app, enabling cat owners to choose their cat’s new human voice!
The Temptations Catterbox™ is the first product idea to come out of the newly created Temptations Lab; a research workstream dedicated to the future of fun times with your feline friend, developed in collaboration with adam&eveDDB.
Temptations spokesperson Oliver Downs, says the team is passionate about bringing cats and owners together. “While we have always done this through our treats, we wanted to go one step further.
“We’re fascinated by cats, so we set out on a mission to get to know them better. Through research, we learned that an adult cat’s meow is their way to communicate with humans, and, by investing in this prototype device we can start to improve understanding between them both – giving cats a voice for the very first time,” he says.
Downs says cats are often perceived as quite hard to get to know, independent pets. “With this in mind, we set up The Temptations Lab to find innovative ways to inject even more fun into a cat and owner’s relationship,” says Downs.

There are certain times of the year when life is particularly stressful on the farm - Lambing is one of them.
For these few weeks, you are no longer solely a farmer. You take on the role as medic and meteorologist, with one eye on your stock's health and the other firmly on the weather forecast.
There is so much riding on a successful lambing season. Some of it is in your control, but a lot is not. Talk about a pressure-cooker situation!
It’s natural that anyone experiencing this type of pressure will feel stressed, but some people manage it better than others. The last thing you want to do is turn into a grumpy, snappy thing and take your stress out on those around you.
Stress takes a great toll on the body and mind. The nervous system is the main body system taxed during times of stress. We've used plant medicine for centuries to restore and rebalance our bodies. St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) can help you cope with stress. It nourishes your nervous system, helps you stay calm, and manage stress and anxiety.
St John’s Wort is one of the most researched and prescribed medicinal plants in the world. We take it more and more these days, as we typically burn the candle at both ends with our fast-paced lives. It has a high safety profile and most people tolerate it well.
It's important to note that as a tea, St John's Wort is safe to take with other medication. But when taken in tablet form, it can alter medications' effectiveness. Always consult your doctor before you start taking it, especially if you are on medication.
When choosing something to supplement your health, always do your research on the company. Do they use top quality ingredients? Plant medicine’s effectiveness comes down to its quality; sub-par ingredients give sub-par results. Look for certification that guarantees quality.
When you’re stressed, the last thing you need is to come down with something. Stress can weaken your immune response, leaving you susceptible to bugs in circulation. Support your immune system with a good anti-viral.
Take a healthy dose of St John's Wort and an immune boosting supplement, three weeks before a stressful period is due to hit – in the calm before the storm. The old saying “prevention is the best cure” couldn’t be more true.
Take this preventative approach, and have confidence that you will handle this stressful time. It’ll take one thing off your mind, leaving you to focus on what matters most; your stock. And the weather, of course.
