If only Missy could talk! The only way to know the reason for her noises and behavior (and to know if she is sick or pregnant) is to have her examined by the veterinarian and I recommend to have this done. In case she is pregnant, here is a helpful link: https://www.petcoach.co/article/queening-giving-birth-in-cats/ Here is also some information about various noises cats can make: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-cat-sounds-and-what-they-mean/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
