cat's meow

I found one, The Cat's Meow, an unsettling read through a modern lens.

Director Peter Bogdanovich even made a 2001 film about this notion, “The Cat’s Meow.”

What is the meaning of a cat’s meow that grows louder and louder?

I explored this question in my book "The Cat's Meow: How Cats Evolved from the Savanna to Your Sofa."

One type is onomatopoeia; for example, words that describe a cat’s meow or a rooster’s crow are similar across many languages.
