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.

Adult cats rarely meow at each other, but they may meow at us for the same reasons.
