coughing cat

You may Be thinking fur ball from a kitty kitty, you are wrong! This ferocious unhappy sound is made ONLY at night in the woods!(any woods will do)
The sound is actually made from a female wild boar either accidentally or intentionally sitting on a vertical log or stump. This forces air into the female boar creating a nasty intimidating coughing sound which is what most people would call a “quiff”!

I do believe I just heard a coughing cat, throw me my rpg and hold my beer!
