Source year 2020 · Note reviewed 2026-10-03
CatMeows documents 440 sounds from 21 cats with context, cat, owner and session identifiers.
What we reviewed · Selected evidence reviewed
Version 1.0.2 record, API rights and naming conventions; paper abstract only.
Not yet independently reviewed by a scientific specialist.
What this does — and doesn’t — establish
CC BY-NC 4.0 is not general commercial permission. Elicited contexts should not become app instructions; files were not acquired.
What we can build on
Our proposed evaluations should hold out households and animals, not just random clips.

The next reading task
