Normally because they are involved in some sort of fight. However, there is always more noise than action. Conflicts are preceded by much wailing (and sometimes screeching) in an attempt to warn the other cat off. This can also be accompanied by hissing and spitting and of course, fur standing up (in an attempt to look bigger and therefore, more frightening. There is also much posturing (walking sideways etc). All of this takes a while and often the conflict does not come to blows at all.

Many cats also wail at night because they are in heat. This is usually the case if it is an all night long night after night happening.
