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).
Cats also often hiss when they are caught off-guard by a predator or anyone they perceive to be a threat. For example, if a new and strange cat shows up on a cat's designated turf, he may instantly begin to hiss as a defensive and territorial instinct.ats, although usually cute and sweet, are also very mysterious and confusing creatures. If you are owned by a cat yourself, you've probably spent many a sleepless night scratching your head trying to decode your pet's puzzling actions. Growling and hissing behaviors are certainly no exception.
