Cat Sounds CAT SOUNDS




If the cat is upset, it will produce a variety of meowing calls that actually sound different from one another. These sounds convey different emotions which are:

  • Anger
  • Fright
  • Pain
  • Attention


ANGER
This high intensive sound made when the cat is extremely angry is called "caterwauling." The sound can vary but it is usually very high and extremely intense.

FRIGHT
If a cat is cornered and cannot run away or hide, it may make a throaty yowling noise. The cat may also spit and hiss.

PAIN
If a cat is in agony it will scream or screech according to the intensity of the pain. If it is a kitten, the sound will be that of a squeal.

ATTENTION
The sound that a cat owner will hear when its kitty wants attention is a meowing noise. The meow can be of a begging or demanding nature. Or the meow can be of a complaining or even an anxious kind of sound. The feline has refined its meow to such an extent, that the cat owner knows by the way the meow sounds exactly what its feline companion is trying to convey.
