mewled
Made kitten sounds
Mewled is the past tense of mewl, meaning to cry weakly or whimper like an infant or kitten.
The sound is high-pitched and feeble, suggesting vulnerability or helplessness: The newborn mewled in its mother's arms.
Shakespeare's "mewling and puking infant" in *As You Like It* remains the word's most famous appearance.
