Kitten's cries (4)
I believe the answer is:
mews
'kittens' cries' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for mews that I've seen before include "occupied dwellings that used to be stables" , "Former stables converted into houses" , "House converted from stables" , "Catcalls" , "small street" .)
