## What is NekoHi?

Get to know your cat through the little moments you share.

Start by choosing a familiar cat or a cat you are meeting for the first time. Browse by the interaction you want to observe, play one sound softly, and optionally record what the cat actually does. Keep the sounds that work best for that cat so you do not need to repeat the full test every time.

Why I made NekoHi
I share my home with three cats. When the oldest became ill, I wished I could do more than care for them: I wanted to find a gentler way to say, “I’m here with you.” That experience gave me the idea for NekoHi.

I wanted a simple tool that encourages us to notice our cats’ reactions and respect their choices. Play one quiet sound, wait, and keep a note of what is different today. Be there when they choose to come close, and give them space when they need quiet. I hope NekoHi helps you bring a little more understanding and care to everyday life together.

We continue to work with cat-rescue organizations around the world, providing free NekoHi access to support their everyday care and rescue work.

Key features:
• Separate guidance and scene cards for familiar cats and first meetings
• Browse sounds by purpose, including greetings, calls, contentment, and warnings
• See when to use each sound, what to observe, and when to stop
• Save favorite sounds and response records for individual cats
• Choose English, Japanese, Korean, French, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Thai or Malay
• Keep cat profiles and observation records on your device
• Search, browse and save 34 cat-care articles
• First-use guidance and a tutorial you can revisit in Settings

Try every sound within an allowance of 12 successful playback starts. Lifetime unlock is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. The App Store shows the price for your region.

For safety, start at the lowest audible volume and play only one sound at a time. Stop immediately for flattened ears, fast tail lashing, freezing, backing away, hiding, or hissing.

NekoHi is not a cat-language translator, does not guarantee a particular response, and does not provide veterinary advice.

Listen to warning sounds away from cats to learn to recognize them; do not use them for play or calling. If a cat is ill, injured or trapped, contact a veterinarian or a professional animal rescue service promptly. Playing sounds is not a substitute for care or rescue.

Reaction recording is optional in Settings; direct playback is the default, and your existing records stay saved.
