Cats make a variety of different noises from meows and yowls to chirps. The chirping sound is usually accompanied by chattering teeth and is usually triggered when your cat sees prey. You’ll notice this can happen when your cat is looking out the window and spots a bird. Some people believe cats make this chirping sound as a way to mimic the birds chirps to lure them closer.
