For the first observation of a neonate (prior to any intervention for pain or sedation), the ICC estimates (95% confidence interval, CI) of the pain scale were 0.95 (0.90, 0.97) and 0.97 (0.95, 0.99) for a single rating and average of two independent ratings, respectively.
Well, cats make a lot of sounds. You will usually hear people saying that cats say meow, but they also hiss when they feel in a fighting mood, purr when content or calm, and gâ¦rowl when agitated. Cats might meow if they are hungry, want attention, or surprised. They also yowl.
Along with the threatening sound comes an arched back, puffed hair, twitchy tail, flattened ears, and an open mouth, fangs ready to strike. Spitting can also occur with a hiss. When your cat takes on this serpent-like guise, back off, and do what you can to remove the perceived threat.
