Cat in the Way
Two church members were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a woman who was not happy to see them. She told them in no uncertain terms that she did not want to hear their message and slammed the door in their faces. To her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact, bounced back open. She tried again, really put her back into it, and slammed the door again with the same result-the door bounced back open.
Convinced these rude young people were sticking their foot in the door, she reared back to give it a slam that would teach them a lesson, when one of them said, "Ma'am, before you do that again, you need to move your cat."

Eeep! Oh nos poor kiteh
Reminds me when my old ktties (RIP) were kittens and the brother got behind a tall speaker and knocked it over on to his sis head who was sleeping in front of it. Her head stayed small while her body grew, and she sounded like Darth Vader when she breathed from then on.

I would imagine the cat would screech loud enough to hear a mile away.
They get pretty loud when you step on their tail....
