One possibility is that you have suffered an "aural illusion". Our minds will take an unfamiliar and unexpected sound, and change it to something we recognize. One very common one is a creaking door hinge that is heard as a cat meow.

Another possibility is that there is a cat, but you can't find him. Cats are very good at hiding in strange places, and have a bit of an exploring instinct that leads them into places where they perhaps shouldn't be.

You might also be hearing a bird or another small mammal in distress and mistake it for a cat.
