Growls and Screams

A cat is giving a defensive call when they ´growl;´ a quiet, low pitched, tone deep in the throat. They may or may not include a ´rumbling, rattling´ quality to the growl.
The cat ´scream,´ a high pitched, frantic call, is usually used when they are fighting, or a cry of intense pain.
These are the sounds that resemble a baby crying or children shouting and playing.
