The most common sound a cat makes is Miaow.
They can also purr. They do this when breathing both in and out.
This sound is like "r r r r r rrrr r r r r r" when they breathe in, and when they breath out, they just reverse it, and make "r r r r r rrrr r r r r r".
Some times cats complain: "Meeeooooow"
They can also be angry: "Meowww", "fshhhhh", "fiisssssshhh"
When they say hello: "Miaow"
When they are hungry: "Miaoow"
When they are hopeful: "r r r r r rrr r r r r r" and reverse "r r r r r rrr r r r r r"
When they are utterly happy: "r r r r r rr r r r r r" and reverse "r r r r r rrrrrr r r r r r"
