The best part of this app is that you can even record the video of the cat repeating whatever you say and then share it with your friends. If you are trying to impress someone or trying to tell someone about how you feel, just make the cat repeat your message, record the video and send it to the one.

Here's how to play with the app:-
- Talk to the cat and it will repeat everything you say in a funny voice.
