Does Anyone Know What I'm Talking About

[hc4361]

It is said that cats will sit in a circle at night and 'chat'. There is a name for this but I can't remember what it is.
Can you help?

We had two cats having a scrap outside my bedroom window last summer. Genuinely thought it was a baby screaming!

They do sound like crying babies and foxes are really eerie when they start
