Why do domestic cats make a high-frequency chattering vibration sound when looking out windows at birds?
My cat sits on the windowsill tracking backyard sparrows, making an erratic clicking jaw sound while vibrating their tail tip. Is this a sound of anger?

It is an instinctual predatory behavioral reflex known as vacuum activity. It mimics the fast killing bite maneuver cats execute when capturing small prey, combined with physical excitement.
