「一聲貓叫劃破了寧靜」- A cat's shriek pierced through the silence (of the night).

The yowling of a cat pierced the silence of the night.

專門的"貓叫"動詞
meow ~ 喵喵聲
purr ~ (貓)得意地嗚嗚叫, soft low sound
yowl ~ 大聲叫, 吼

If a person, or a cat yowls, they make a long loud cry, especially they are unhappy and in pain.

cry 是很 general 字, 普遍地應用在 people, animals, birds

With minor amendment:-

For a Gothic Horror story, to describe a cat's meow=The cat has such a piercing shriek,while the night remains piercing silent.

I agree with the translation of "劃破了寧靜" to "broke the silence / tranquillity", and also of " 一聲貓叫" to "a cat's meow / a cat's cry".

If the 貓叫 is gentle, it is a "meow". If it is loud, it is a "cry", especially if it sounds scary.

For a horror story, if your intention is to describe the cat as screaming, then "劃破了寧靜" could probably be more appropriately translated as "pierced the silence".

If "pierced the silence" is used, then the 貓叫 would need to be a "cry", as a "meow" is too gentle to pierce anything.

Would like to give you some suggestions:

1. "Meow..." A cat chooses to break the deadly silence.

2. A cat from somewhere utters a short "meow". The complete silence is
instantly broken.
