Talking Tom Cat is a game/app where you interact with the titular tomcat. Within 13 days of its release, the app received 1 million downloads, becoming a multimedia sensation and kickstarting the Talking Friends franchise.

All this from a glorified voice changer.

Unused Audio

angry.wav

A sound of a cat angrily meowing. This could have been used when you poke Tom's tail.

Removed Sounds

Cake Sounds

When the Cake button was introduced in 1.3 iOS version, there was 6 sounds for them, they were removed in 1.5 version, only containing 2.

Filename	Audio	Notes	Removed?
splat_01		A Splat! sound.	Used.
splat_02		Another Splat! sound.	Removed.
splat_03		Another Splat! sound, almost sounding same as splat_02.wav.	Removed.
splat_04		Another Splat! sound, almost sounding same as splat_03.wav.	Removed.
splat_05		Another Splat! sound.	Used.
splat_06		Another Splat! sound, almost sounding same as splat_05.wav.	Removed.

Unused Animations

Cat_Listen

"Cat_Listen" is intended as a smooth transition between Tom's standing and listening frames for when you talk to him. This transition happens instantly in-game. Most likely cut because having to watch this every time you perform the app's signature function would get tiring pretty fast.

A similar transition would later be featured in Talking Pierre and My Talking Tom.

Anti-Piracy

If the game detects it was a pirated version (specially pro versions of the game), the voice will be extremely fast and it will be unusable. This is very common in the Android version. Free and 2.0 versions of this game doesn't have the Anti Piracy feature.

Revisional Differences

Originally, both Tom himself and the background were stock assets purchased from TurboSquid. In 2016, both were replaced with original assets matching newer entries in the franchise, with Tom becoming much cuter and less uncanny, and the background becoming more detailed.
