It sounds like your cat has quite the personality! While there isn't a specific app mentioned at WWDC that addresses pets thinking they are different animals, there are several interesting updates and tools that might be of interest:
-
Siri and Apple Intelligence: Siri is gaining the ability to perform semantic searches, which means it can understand and find content related to pets, such as cats and dogs, even if you don't use the exact word. This could be useful for finding pet-related content on your device. For more details, you can check out the session Bring your app to Siri.
-
Genmoji: Apple introduced Genmoji, which allows you to create personalized emoji. You could potentially create a Genmoji of your cat acting like a dog! For more information, see the session Bring expression to your app with Genmoji.
-
Image Playground: This tool allows you to create and edit images, which could be a fun way to make creative photos of your cat. This was mentioned in the session 18 things from WWDC24.
If you have any specific needs or want to explore more about these features, feel free to ask!
