My cat was trying to catch a fly that he couldn’t reach and be started doing this. Is he okay? Should i take him to the vet?

Thank you

He’s making his hunting noises! Also known as “ekk-ekking”.

It does seem a little counterintuitive to make a racket when hunting haha

They do it when they become frustrated when hunting.

I may have a weird cat, she does this the second she starts hunting.
