Growling, hissing or spitting indicate a cat who is annoyed, frightened, angry or aggressive. Leave this cat alone. A yowl or howl (they sound like loud, drawn-out meows) tells you your cat is in some kind of distressâstuck in a closet, looking for you or in pain. Find your cat if they're making this noise. However, in unneutered and unspayed cats, these sounds are part of mating behavior (and very annoying).
In terms of cat noises, meowing represents a real trademark. However, it is rather confusing, as it may correspond to numerous moods and needs. Meowing can be first observed in kittens, which use it for letting their mother know that they need something. Adult cats do not use this type of noise between them. When communicating to each other, adult cats prefer body language and other types of noises. On the other hand, domesticated cats use meowing to communicate with humans.
