Ages 4 and up
Congratulations! With your new Meow-Chi™, you now have a special new
friend. Meow-Chi is the Interactive Cat that loves to play, sing and dance!
Advanced biorhythmic technology enables Meow-Chi to have many different
moods and feelings, watch his eyes and his motions to see how he is feeling.
His biorhythms also enable him to grow and change from a kitten into a mature
cat. Because Meow-Chi's behavior pattern does start as a kitten, it is very
important to play with him often while he is still "developing". This will help
make Meow-Chi a happier cat as he grows up!

MEOW-CHI'S SENSORS
Just like a real cat, Meow-Chi is very unpredictable. Activate one of his sensors
to see what he will do! Meow-Chi has five sensors: a light sensor, sound
sensor, and a touch sensor. He also has a magnetic sensor that allows him
to play with his mouse play toy, which will be described in the Mouse Play Toy
section, and an infrared sensor that enables Meow-Chi to play with other
Robo-Chi™ Pets. This function is described in the Communicating with Other
Meow-Chi's and Robo-Chi Pets section of this guide.
To activate the Light sensor:
- Wait until Meow-Chi stops moving.
- Slowly pass your hand in front of Meow-Chi's
forehead (3 holes above eyeplate)
- When you move your hand away, Meow-Chi
will respond.
To activate the Sound sensor:
- Wait until Meow-Chi stops moving
- Clap your hands or make a loud noise,
Meow-Chi will respond.
To activate the Touch sensor:
- Wait until Meow-Chi stops moving
- Simply press either sensor on the side of Meow-
Chi's head, below his ears. If you press the
sensor once, Meow-Chi will respond, press the
sensor twice and see what Meow-Chi will do.
You can press the sensor up to 5 times and
Meow-Chi will respond in many different ways!
Many of Meow-Chi's responses are affected by
Meow-Chi's biorhythmic level, the more you
play with him, the happier he will be.
MEOW-CHI'S EYES
Meow-Chi's eyes are very expressive; they will help you to know whether
Meow-Chi is happy, sad, sleepy or hungry.
Watch Meow-Chi's eyes, can you tell what he is feeling?
Happy Meow-Chi
Sad Meow-Chi
MEOW-CHI'S BIORHYTHM
Graphs shown below represent the 8 biorhythmic levels of Meow-Chi. Each
level lasts about 30 minutes and determines Meow-Chi's mood and behaviors.
For example, when Meow-Chi is in level 1 he will be unhappy almost all the
time and will have sad eyes. In level 8 Meow-Chi will be happy almost all the
time and may even sing you special songs!
Remember: If Meow-Chi is sad, it's easy to make him happy again by playing
with him. Don't forget, Meow-Chi has 5 different sensors that need attention!
(Refer to Meow-Chi's Sensors section).
Meow-Chi is very unhappy and needs much care and affection.
Level 1:
Meow-Chi is still sad, maybe playing with his Mouse Play Toy will help!
Level 2:
Level 3: Remember to watch Meow-Chi's eyes, they tell you how he feels.
Level 4: Getting happier, Meow-Chi likes it when you dance with him!
Level 5: Meow-Chi hears when you clap or say "Good Cat!"
Level 6 (Home position): Meow-Chi starts at this level when reset.
Level 7: Meow-Chi is very happy, he might even sing you a special song!
Level 8: Congratulations, you are a Master Meow-Chi owner!
