Title: How does a cat calling sound?
Post by: Mark on August 08, 2007, 00:16:51 AM

I have been hearing a cat the last few nights crying as if its in pain. Always quite late. I'm not sure where its coming from but ver the back somewhere so I can't go knocking on doors at midnight. Is it a cat calling?

It does sound a bit strange.  Each cat sounds different, but normally if they're calling they do sound a bit like they're in pain - we have one near us that gives out a low moaning sound which then rises to a screech.  Paddy tends to go "yow, yow" like some enthusiastic Brummie (apologies Brummies everywhere, although enthusiasm is a good thing usually)

I think it's a queen calling.... more kittens on the way, I suspect.  :(

Could be a queen calling or cats having a stand off?  Both sound horrible.
