The Cat's Meow or How Does Sound Scale?

  1. The cat's meow and the roar of a lion.
  2. If a person is reduced in size by, say, a factor of three what will a cat's meow sound like? Will it be higher in pitch, lower in pitch, or sound the same?
  3. If the cat is increased to the size of a lion how will its meow sound?
