I wouldn’t make that assumption. If you must quote a cat, say: ghugh vIghro’; jatlh ‘Imyagh.

Relevant word:

«ghugh»

= "vocalize" [referring to sound emitted by an animal, but not speech]

(qep'a' cha'maH loSDIch)

I would assume that this word can be used similarly to jatlh:

ghugh vIghro' 'Imyagh.

'Imyagh, ghugh vIghro'.

"The v'gro goes 'Imyagh."
