Fun fact:
Cat's don't normally meow to other cats. They mostly communicate through body language and the only real sound they make to other cats are hissing and growling.
Meows are normally only reserved for humans.
This video is purely coincidental. The cat was confused about the sound and thought there was another cat in the premises. Seeing how the meow came from the direction of the woman, the cat hissed and smacked that motherfucker all due to confusion.

The last meow kind of sounded like an aggressive/distressed one which might have set it off.
Generally just confuses them though, I downloaded the meow piano on my phone and hid it + pressed random meows with my girlfriends cats and most of them are just confused/alerted by it, but one of them gets annoyed by it and starts growling/hissing.
I played the video of the screaming cat to mine once, he just looked confused as fuck and stared at me blankly for a while.
I used to freak my cat out by playing a video I recorded of my cat freaking out to a video of itself. I don't even remember how the first one came about.
i see the cat subscribes to the "talk shit get hit" school of thought

So, in order to establish a human/cat translator, you would have to put together a moving cat exoskeleton/servo skeleton with hissing and growling while fooling the real cat with all of the appropriate sounds and smells?
Pretty much.
Verbal stuff for cats is basically accentuation or direct HEY THAT THING, which is what cats do as kittens. Cats figure out pretty quickly that most humans suckat non verbal communication so they stick with what works, ie acting like kittens around people when communicating.

Would it also indicate a possible alternative with humans specifically working on improving their body language skills while studying the cat body language in great detail?

You can somewhat say "I'm friendly, I won't cause any harm" by just blinking slowly.
That's one way to use body language in a way your cat understands.

Stuff like blinking and head nodding yes, stuff like ear swiveling and tail/back movements no.
Wait, so cats only really meow when talking to humans?
... Have we been being baby-talked this whole time?
Kittens meow to their mother.
Cats rarely purr to eachother. Though they occasionally do, I remember when my oldest cat was getting cleaned by his younger sister he'd act all grumpy but she'd put him in line then they'd end up just sitting there purring and cleaning eachother.
Cats are sick.
My friend's cat falls over when you blow air at it.
It doesn't matter if you're kneeled right next to it, or standing at the other side of the room. He just falls over.
It's especially funny when he standing on the edge of a table and almost falls off, only realizing at the very last second that "Oh shit, I cannot fall here".
