My hubby and I have just heard a very strange cat noise outside. We opened the window to see our neighbours noticing the same. Both them and us were worried it was an injured cat (my neighbours thought it was one of our cats...but it isn't).

We all spotted the cat from a distance, it was moving ok but still making the god awful noise. Like a normal cat on heat but 5 times louder. As there was no obvious sign of external injury, I think the cat is possibly on heat... going by the 2 toms I saw lurking nearby. The cat won't let anyone get near it, but it does have a collar on.

So the point of my post is as it did look like a silver bengal - do these cats make a very very loud calling noise? I guess this is one for the Bengal breeders.

My hubby and I have never heard anything like that before! Its what you would expect from a leopard on heat in the jungle.

I think it probably was just 'looking for action', but being part 'wild' cat, could have a much louder voice than other kitties. I do remember long ago our little Angel, a mostly Angora girl, who hardly made a peep at any time, seeing a strange cat outside the door and suddenly opening up with the most blood curdling low, loud voice you can imagine... just couldn't believe it was her!

If it looked like it was "talking" (you see the mouth moving and it wasnt a meow) it was a male showing his aggression to another male, possibly getting ready to fight.

The noise can be pretty awful sounding and loud!
