概要	Over the past few decades, a number of studies have been conducted on animal metaphors. In this study, we are concerned with verbs that typically refer to actions of animals but are instead used to describe those of humans, especially sound-emission verbs that refer to cries or onomatopoeia related to cats. This paper takes a text-based approach in order to examine examples in which feline sound-emission or onomatopoeic verbs are metaphorically used in authentic discourse in English. It also considers how these verbs are semantically extended from onomatopoeic meanings to other meanings that refer to human actions from a cognitive linguistic perspective. In conclusion, there are two types of animal metaphors involved in feline onomatopoeic verbs: metaphor based on similarity and metaphor from metonymy based on contiguity and similarity between the source domain CAT and the target domain HUMAN.
