Cat calls are vocalizations made by cats to communicate with other cats or humans. Yowls, MEWS, jeers, miaows, BOOS, and meows are all examples of cat calls. Yowls are loud, long, and drawn-out vocalizations that cats make when they are in distress or feeling threatened. MEWS are short, high-pitched vocalizations that cats make when they are seeking attention or trying to locate another cat. Jeers are harsh, raspy vocalizations that cats make when they are angry or frustrated. Miaows are soft, gentle vocalizations that cats make when they are content or happy. BOOS are low, throaty vocalizations that cats make when they are feeling playful or curious. Finally, meows are medium-pitched vocalizations that cats make when they are trying to communicate with humans.
