Cat Sounds WAV WMA MP3
Cat Sounds WAV WMA MP3 is about cat sounds in the audio file WAV format plus other audio file types of cat sounds. If the file extension is ".wav" they are files in the waveform audio format. They are also known as Audio for Windows and the file type is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format.

This type of file is compatible with Linux, Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Uncompressed WAV files are quite large in size.

But they are still used. I am guessing but they are probably useful on the basis of their, compatibility, simplicity and quality. Most felids (cats) have a range of 12 vocalization types. Not all are represented here yet.

Please do not hot link any of these files. Always download them and upload to your server. Thanks. If you'd like to share your experiences please go to this easy to use form.

WMA - File to be downloaded - Cat Sounds WAV WMA MP3

Cat in a cage- the sound of two cats probably being fed and waiting for the food. Slightly odd meow but then all meows differ.

Kitten meowing - this is a very plaintiff sad meow of a lost and needy kitten.

Siamese cat meowing - nice raucous Siamese cat meow.

Cat being stroked and meowing - the cat is making the kind of sound that indicates pleasure! There is a bit of background noise.

Lynx call - pretty similar to domestic cat call I think. See Eurasian lynx.

Caracal hiss - very loud and very intimidating. See Caracal.

Bobcat catwerwauling - this is the classic wildcat caterwaul, which can be heard over long distance, about one mile. See American bobcat.

Bobcat growling - kinda typical cat growl but a bit more scary!

Cougar in heat - yes, sounds like it. Cats in heat are attracting the male in various ways and this sound to a male cougar is one way to get him around. See lots on the Puma.

Cougar purr - classic cat's purr. Cougars can't roar and make sounds similar to domestic cats just like this purr although a bit deeper and richer.

Cougar squeaks - just for the cougar this one.

Lion's roar - territorial marker and its low frequency resonance means it travels far and wide - up to 5 miles.

Serval yelp, hiss and while eating - the hiss is pretty typical cat, the other two sounds are not especially the last one, which sounds almost human. See Serval as domestic cat, wild cat (new window). In the video this domestic cat hisses as a sign of pleasure (I believe):

Tiger chuff greeting -the tiger saying hi!

Ocelot greeting - the ocelot is a small wildcat. The greeting is strange and unnerving.

Tiger Roar - this is a link to a new page on this subject.

Sand cat spitting hissing - this is a strange click (the spit?) then hiss that are merged. The click is not a sound recording defect but part of the hiss.

Mountain Lion Sounds - this is not a link to an audio file but to a new page about the sounds that the Puma makes.

Siamese cat meowing -nice long session of a Siamese cat's typical vocal meow. See traditional Siamese cats.

Cat in Heat - Cats make a range of sounds in heat but this is one of them when she calls.

Cat Chattering - classic chattering at a bird. The cat is instinctively practicing the biting motion that takes place when prey is caught which breaks the spine of the bird at the nape of the neck.

Domestic cat growl - your standard growl, which is usually followed by the hiss.

Domestic cat hiss - the standard hiss designed to mimic the snake to frighten adversary.

Caterwauling domestic cat in distance
Caterwauling to his human companion - this is male cat that is calling to his human companions and described as caterwauling.

Caterwauling is a term that seems to be used to mean slightly different things to different people.

Caterwauling definition
1. To cry or screech like a cat in heat.

2. To make a shrill, discordant sound.

3. To have a noisy argument. {Free Dictionary}

Caterwauling has been described as the the male cat makes when sexually excited, sometimes as a prelude to a fight over a female. The book Wild Cats Of The World explain caterwauling as loud long distance calls intended to bring cats together for mating. For the American bobcat they can be heard about a mile away.

MP3 - Cat Sounds WAV WMA MP3 - The next batch are MP3 audio files. In terms of downloading the file the same procedure as for the WAVE files applies. These are PEG-1 Audio Layer 3 files. They are highly compressed which translates into smaller file sizes.

They can't be played (as far as I can see) by Windows Media Player probably because they were a competing audio format but Apple's QuickTime Player will play these files once downloaded.

The image below shows what the player looks like. The software is a free download from this site: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ (opens in a new window).

MP3 - File to be downloaded - use the same technique as for WAV files. I have excluded the player to speed up page load. Left clicking on the link will produce a player in a new window.
