mewler
One who whines
A mewler is someone or something that mewls—makes weak, high-pitched crying sounds like a kitten or infant.
The word usually carries contempt, suggesting pathetic whimpering rather than legitimate distress: Stop being such a mewler and deal with it.
Shakespeare's "mewling and puking infant" gave the word its literary pedigree.
