MrrrrrrrrryyyyyAAAAAAH!!!
Every time a vehicle crashes, trash cans fall over, something blows up, or any chaos occurs off-screen, after the sounds of breaking glass and other Stock Sound Effects, we hear some poor cat yowl, in pain or perhaps just startled. Just like that poor Wilhelm fellow of Stock Scream fame, this unfortunate feline is everywhere, attracting disaster and voicing its unhappiness even in areas where a cat couldn't or wouldn't be present.
The most used cat sound is Disc 2, Track 26 from The Hollywood Edge's "Premiere Edition Volume 1" released in 1990 labeled "Cats, Two; Angry Yowls During Cat Fight, Close Perspective" or "Angry Cat Yowls; Cat Fight".
Very much an Undead Horse Trope.
Cat might be a tragic version of Cute, but Cacophonic. May also be related to The Cat Came Back, considering it sounds like the same cat each and every time. Avoids Offscreen Inertia by occurring out of the audience's line of sight, no matter how tortured that poor cat may sound, and in several cases, because it's just funny to imagine how the poor kitty got hurt or startled rather than show it.
Compare with Kick the Dog, which on rare occasion overlaps. Should not be confused with That Poor Car and That Poor Plant, which are entirely different tropes. Also not to be confused with the movie That Darn Cat!, or with Cat Scare (which is when the cat is the scarer instead of the scare-ee). See also Cat Concerto, where the cat's yowling is a musical performance on the back fence.
While it should not be confused with Cat Fight, someone is sure to punctuate such a showdown with the signature yowl.

Similarly, The Penguins of Madagascar have a guy off screen shouting "My car!" at some point pretty much whenever the penguins leave the zoo.
There's a similar running gag in Making Fiends with Marvin who always yells "My ___!" Once it was "My pencil!"

In the first episode of Midori Days, a cat gets hit in a blind panic by a character not once, but twice, in front of the same house. By the end of the episode, the cat is on a roof covered in bandages.
The same cat gets hit at least once per episode, during the entire series. He still gets a very happy ending, though.

In the sketch "Last Will and Temperament" by Canadian comedy troupe The Frantics, a will reading contains the sentence "And to my cat Mittens, I leave my entire, vast... boot to the head." Cue an audible thump, followed by an anguished yowl. A later television version kept the cat completely off-screen, but abused it nonetheless. It isn't simply a stock sound effect of the cat screaming either, but is rather long and draws itself out for a few seconds. Watch it here.

In Tales of Monkey Island, a cat scream is heard when Guybrush accidentally causes a bar brawl in Club 41 (which you only see the outside of during the scene). Becomes a Brick Joke as halfway into the game the injuries to that cat are one of the crimes he's charged with during a kangaroo trial.

Done three times in Inside Out: It is first done by a cat who comes out of Bing Bong's Bottomless Bag. The second one is done by Bing Bong, a character who is part cat, when a set falls on him at Dream Productions. The final one is the last thing we hear during the movie, as during the Creative Closing Credits we see the emotions of an actual cat, and it yowls in terror and runs away when its Fear starts randomly fiddling with the emotion controls.

Done in the french film La Cité de la peur. Notable in that, because of a "low budget gag", a whole part of the film has sound effects done by the actors in the dubbing. And, yes, the cat scream was done by an actor, and the others comments "Wow, you do quite a good cat impression".

The Backyardigans: Happens in the double-length episode "International Secret Super Spy" when The Lady in Pink's secret headquarter lights end up dying from The Lady Pink pushing on the tickle table button several times. The Lady to Pink orders Henchman Tyrone to activate the emergency lights. While doing so, Henchman Tyrone crashes off-screen and we hear the screeching cat noise.
It also happens in "Catch That Train!" when Czar Tyrone's train ends up in a tunnel while Uniqua and Pablo go off after it. We hear a cat screeching, along with a chicken clucking, a telephone ringing, and a weird talking device.

Muppet Treasure Island, on the other hand, has a completely justified version of this, when Blind Pew is leaving the Benbow Inn after delivering the Black Spot to Billy Bones. As he leaves, he crashes into what are presumably rubbish bins, which topple, followed by the cat's yowl, and Blind Pew's exclamation "Out of my way, you stupid cat!" There is no reason a cat wouldn't be hanging around in trash outside an Inn, and Pew is...well, a blind fiend. The commentary reveals that they stuck in the cat noises in post production and Jerry Nelson, Pew's performer, improved the line.

Shrek: Puss In Boots, being a cat, often has this trope invoked on him:
Shrek 2: When the "Happily Ever After" potion takes effect on Shrek and he faints, we hear a cat screaming... presumably because Shrek landed on Puss-In-Boots when he passed out. Look closely that the following scene, and you can see Puss pulling his hat out from under Shrek.
Shrek the Third: Puss-in-Boots does his cat screech when Shrek throws him out to the window. Also, while Puss talks to a cat, we hear other kinds of yowls and screeches from other cats that were heard offscreen.
Shrek Forever After: Done 4 times in this fourth film. The first one was when a cat got startled by Shrek's roar during the song "Top of the World". The second one was when Donkey comes up to Shrek, but then startled Puss-in-Boots. The third one was when Donkey pulls Puss away from the ogres falling. The last one was when Puss swings over Dragoness' tail and flies towards the camera during the final battle.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish uses a variant with a cutaway rather than the event being offscreen. In Puss' Death Montage early in the movie, two of his deaths (the second one where he gets mauled by dogs whom he cheated in a poker game, and the fourth one where he gets crushed by a barbell after insisting that he doesn't need a spotter) have the scene cut away before the actual killing is shown, with the stock cat yowl associated with this trope being heard when the associated number card is displayed.

In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Arthur and Bedevere pass someone swinging something furry against a post, that makes a "RROWRR!" sound with every hit. In the Lego version of this scene included on the DVD, the cat is replaced by a parrot. According to the (long gone) LEGO Studio website, that scene actually did have an alternate "cat-squish" version that was even filmed, but the parrot was used instead because "LEGO cats don't squish well."
Cat abuse is a running gag throughout the movie. While this is normally a horrible thing to joke about, it actually is funny because the cats are clearly fake and all the characters are completely nonchalant about it.

There is a variant in Kung Fu Panda; during the final battle, after twirling Tai Lung around by his tail for several minutes, Po forces him to bite down on it. We then receive the on-screen sound-effect of a piteous, kitten-like mew. Rather demeaning for the proud warrior, but that was probably the point.

Turning Red includes a rare onscreen use of this trope: in one scene, two cats are sleeping by the door of the Lee family temple when they're startled by footsteps approaching from the outside. Both cats snap awake and race for safety across the temple courtyard, making a standard "scared cat" yowl as they go. (Why they would consider the approaching footsteps to be terrifying is another matter.)

Hissy the cat from Puppy Dog Pals uses this sometimes.
Even other cats beside Hissy use this too, such as (so far) "Adopt-a-Palooza", "How ARF Got His Bark Back", "The Naptime Chronicles" and "Bingo and Rolly's Playcare Picnic Party".
In "A.R.F.", when A.R.F. was chasing Hissy all over the house.
In "Hissy's Big Day", when a mob of dogs (led by Cupcake and Rufus) were chasing Hissy all over the Dog Park.
In "A Seat at the Theatre", when the fanfare trumpets wake Hissy up.
At the end of "Bob's Birthday Wish", when the Opera Singer accidentally wakes Hissy up while singing Happy Birthday to Bob at his surprise Birthday Party.
In "The Lab Four", when Bingo and Rolly accidentally wake Hissy up with their noisy one band instruments.
"Squirrels Just Wanna Have Fun" and "How ARF Got His Bark Back" were the ones so far that used this trope during their songs.

In one episode of The Goes Wrong Show, a player piano won't stop playing even after one of the actors rips out some of the electronics, so they start shoving some of the white cushions from the rest of the set (which are shredded into feather clouds). And then Robert accidentally puts in the white cat that had been present in an earlier scene, forcing everyone to freeze in horror. However, the cat is still alive (periodically yowling whenever someone touches the piano) and ultimately proves to be unhurt. But it is also extremely angry, and when it finally bursts out of the piano at the end, poor Annie's face is in the way.

In the original script for A Fish Called Wanda, there was a running gag in which Otto would randomly shoot the tails off of offscreen cats for no reason other than that, well, he's Otto. These scenes were cut in post-production because they didn't really contribute to the rest of the film. Besides, the film has plenty of gratuitous (yet hilarious) animal cruelty without the cat scenes.

In Big Hero 6, Hiro tries to excuse the antics of a low-battery Baymax by blaming them on the family cat, Mochi. When he looks down and finds Mochi at his feet, he grabs him and throws him upstairs, leading to this trope. Later, when Hiro finally arrives upstairs, Mochi looks over at Hiro and is clearly aggravated with his human for throwing him and quickly runs downstairs.
Earlier when Hiro is trying to follow Baymax when he leaves the house on his own, Hiro slips and falls into the side of an alley, where an offscreen cat is heard yowling.

Cat plays with tree's lighting wiring, the lights come off, Clark goes to plug them back in.

Pops up in an episode of Phineas and Ferb when Doofenshmirtz throws a bear trap offscreen, and in another episode where a glass of lemonade is kicked offscreen. It also appears in "Der Kinderlumper" when Linda leaves the vacuum cleaner on and it crashes, which is weird since the Flynn-Fletchers do not even have a cat. Also in "Mission Marvel", when the immobile Iron Man falls on the floor.

Julie & Julia: Protagonist Julie Powell has a tantrum and throws things. Unusually for this trope, the cat heard yowling is actually an established character, Julie's beloved pet, so this doubles as one of Julie's Jerkass moments.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish uses a variant with a cutaway rather than the event being offscreen. In Puss' Death Montage early in the movie, two of his deaths (the second one where he gets mauled by dogs whom he cheated in a poker game, and the fourth one where he gets crushed by a barbell after insisting that he doesn't need a spotter) have the scene cut away before the actual killing is shown, with the stock cat yowl associated with this trope being heard when the associated number card is displayed.

Shrek Forever After: Done 4 times in this fourth film. The first one was when a cat got startled by Shrek's roar during the song "Top of the World". The second one was when Donkey comes up to Shrek, but then startled Puss-in-Boots. The third one was when Donkey pulls Puss away from the ogres falling. The last one was when Puss swings over Dragoness' tail and flies towards the camera during the final battle.

Helluva Boss
In season 2 episode 1, the demons travel to Los Angeles, where Moxxie gets caught up buying everything possible from people selling their "art" on the street. When he and Millie are returning, one more human shows up to sell him a demo CD, which he's about to buy. But Millie has had enough of it, so she kills the man and throws the CD offscreen, where it apparently hits a cat.
In season 1 episode 8, Beelzebub throws away a bottle she drank from, and it sounds like it hits a dog as well as breaking. Which makes sense since they're in a hellhound party.

In the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, Dave elicits one of these when he throws his music equipment into the yard. Unnervingly, he proceeds to throw the rest of his equipment in the same general direction.
In the third movie, we heard a cat screeching offscreen during the scene where the Chipmunks and the Chipettes were fighting over one mango on an island. What's that? Why's there a cat on an island? Well, why not?

Borat contains a fantastic version of this; it's established early on that Borat inexplicably has a chicken with him on his trip. Toward the end, in despair, he drops his one piece of luggage on the ground. Cue a loud buckaw sound.

SpongeBob SquarePants has a similar Running Gag, with some random injured guy shouting "My leg!" instead of a yowling cat.
Made more funny if one thinks about it, as fish have no legs. In The Movie it was "My eyes!" as a Running Gag.
There really was a poor cat sound effect which was heard two times in the first season episode "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II". Also after The Movie, Gary and other snails now have this trope invoked on them.
Gary does it in "Rise and Shine" when Patrick trips on a lamp and falls down the stairs.

In a Two and a Half Men episode, Charlie is trying to drive Jake somewhere (refusing to let Jake drive), when they hear a cat screech, presumably from Charlie running it over. Jake has blackmail material when Charlie believes that he accidentally ran over Chelsea's cat, only to lose it when Chelsea's cat returns, only for Jake to get the blackmail material back by chance when one of his neighbors arrive to inquire about their missing cat that just so happens to resemble Chelsea's cat.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Heard in "Bridle Gossip" when Rainbow Dash tumbled through some bushes in the Everfree Forest. What's that? Why's there a cat in the Everfree Forest? Well, why not?
Later appears in season one finale episode "The Best Night Ever" when Rarity's cat Opal was almost about to go after mice who got turned into horses.
Also appears in part two of the season two premiere, during a Big Ball of Violence. No cat was seen before the dust kicked up, and none was seen after.
An interesting example is heard earlier on in "Sweet and Elite". Rarity is packing up to head back to Ponyville from Canterlot, when she gets a letter asking her to come to a garden party at that day. She changes her mind. Turning to the bagpony that has all her things (and I mean ALL her things), and her cat, Opal, in her cat crate, piled onto his back, she tells him that she won't be leaving, but will be needing help to re-unpacking them. The poor guy then subsequently collapses, and we hear what is assumed to be Opal yowling as all the luggage comes crashing down. We never see Opal during the collapse, but she was the only cat in that pile.
In "Spike At Your Service", Spike kicks a mushroom that hits a cat off-screen.
In "Just for Sidekicks", when Spike grabs Opal, she screeches and attacks him while trying to get all the pets together.
Also happened in "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?" when a tired Rarity accidentally stabbed her cat Opal while trying to brush her fur which caused her to screech.
In "Dragon Dropped", Rarity throws a record player that hits a cat off-screen.

That Poor Cat is used slightly differently in Monty Python's Flying Circus. During an episode where they'd been blowing up animals the entire show, the camera follows two people and you can hear meowing offscreen. Just to make it clear, an arrow points to the edge of the screen, saying "cat." You can guess what came next.
They also do it with pigs in one episode, along with a hand crossing cartoon pigs off a blackboard.
Heard second-hand as Mrs. Premise tells Mrs. Conclusion about the trouble she had burying the cat - "Well, 'e wouldn't keep still. Wrigglin' about, 'owlin'..."
The uninvited guests to a couple's flat has one guest (John Cleese) sitting on the sofa followed by an ungodly yowl. He sat on the cat.

The Egyptian has Nefer's cat. She is a Babylonian, so she has a Persian cat with a huge heavy coat. In Egypt. When we first see it it is panting heavily. You keep wishing one of the "gifts" she asks of Sinuhe would be "Shave my cat." When she dismisses him, he goes mad and walks slowly toward her with murder in his eyes. The cat screeches in warning and she drops it.

Sassy, the cat from the Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey movies, often had this trope invoked on her. The first time was when Chance chased her around the house when she kept piling on the insults on Chance during the wedding (which apparently ruined it slightly), the second time was when Chance catapulted her with the see-saw (which later turns out to be a Chekhov's Gun against a much bigger Mountain Lion), the third time was when Kate was busy feeding Chance, she accidentally stepped on Sassy's tail. The last time it happens is when the dogs rebounded when trying to escape a pound.

Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil gives us too many to count, it's practically in every episode. It appears to be the writer's favorite gag.
One that's sort of off-screen appears in "Hand in Hand" when Kick picks up a cat and flings it over a house over to the street on the other side only to land in Ronaldo's face. We don't really see much of it as the houses are in the way, but Ronaldo makes it very clear that this is what is happening.

A Sailor Moon episode had a variant: when Usagi decides to ditch her diet, her cat Luna taunts her by drawing a picture of her looking puffed up like a pig and telling her this is how she'll look a year from now if she keeps stuffing herself that way. As the "camera" tilts up away from Usagi's bedroom from outside the house, we hear her yell "Luna!!!" and hear Luna yowling in terror.

In the original movie version of The Fly (1958), a cat is the initial test subject for the teleporter. It does not rematerialize, but we hear its pitiful meow for a moment. (In the original story, it turns up again — sort of — in a rather disconcerting way.)

In the live action adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas! one of the things sucked up by the Grinch's large vacuum tube is a large cat, which the vacuum then blows out into his face. A few scenes later the cat reappears, this time jumping onto the Grinch himself.

In Drawn Together, whenever someone or something falls or is thrown offscreen, a cat is heard yowling, despite no cat ever being shown on-camera or even mentioned on the series. The characters make no mention of this.

In an episode of The Critic, President Clinton at one point falls through the floor of the Oval Office, a cat yowls in the room beneath and the president says, "Sorry, Socks".

Used at least once in Babylon 5, when G'Kar tries out Marcus' Minbari Fighting Pike. He accidentally opens it, one end smashing into a pile of garbage, complete with the sound of a shrieking cat. J. Michael Straczynski admitted he put in the cat noise because cats are hilarious like that.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part used this towards the end of the film during the final battle when Unikitty uses a glitter hairball missle.

In Season 2 episode 21 of Happy Heroes, Big M. falls out of a high window. A cat can be heard meowing when he lands on the ground.

In another Rare title, Kinect Sports, you have the option of sending your bowling ball wildly off course into the stands if you exaggerate a throw too far to the left or right. Screams, shattering glass and howls are heard, but the strained wail of an unfortunate cat have also found its way into the title.
