Catcalling

“Catcalling” refers to the traumatizing experience of verbal abuse and sexual innuendos thatmen often throw at women walking by. However, it is one of many terms that associates felineswith femininity, and its playful sounding name does not reflect the true fear one can experiencewhen being catcalled. Here, a woman gives catcalling a new meaning as she literally calls anarmy of cats to back her up as she walks down a sketchy city street.
