Why do cats sometimes sound like crying babies?
Cats - both housecats and outdoor cats, and feral cats to boot - will sometimes make an eerie sound that sounds very much like a human baby crying. It can be quite disconcerting, hearing what sounds like a baby crying outside my window (following by scrabbling and squawking, often).

The cats you're hearing are most likely females in heat. The sounds afterwards may be male cats fighting over the female, or possibly the female scrabbling with the male, possibly rejecting him, or after mating.
Sometimes a cat's normal meow by random genetic variation, will sound more like a baby than is typical for a cat, also.
