Stupid Cat

Cats are cool, they can make like 11 or 12 unique sounds. I have had a couple of cats that made a similar sounds to this, but it was more rapid-fire. kekeke

I miss my cats. 🙁
 
A lot of cats do that, and both of mine do. They tend to do it when they see an animal outside and they become fixated on it.

Anyone know what it's called?
 
I guess it's called a "killing bite movement." Interesting, I never knew what it was. Stated here...

Cats are also known to make chirping noises when observing prey, or as a means of expressing interest in an object to nearby humans. When directed at out-of-reach prey, it is unknown whether this is a threatening sound, an expression of frustration, or an attempt to replicate a birdcall (or replicate the call of a bird's prey, for example a cicada). Since this feline expression often involves a mouth movement similar to the one they would use to kill their prey (their "killing bite"), they may be trying to practice this mouth movement in anticipation.
