"I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go about to expound this dream. Methought I was—there is no man can tell what. Methought I was,—and methought I had,—but man is but a patched fool, if he will offer to say what methought I had. The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen, man's hand is not able to taste, his tongue to conceive, nor his heart to report, what my dream was. I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream: it shall be called Bottom's Dream..."
What a great introduction to Shakespeare for me.

¿Bunions must have been inspired? ¿Started a new creative trend?
Since they are saying sitting's the new cancer, I'm guessing bunions is a subliminal message for TNBWers that there's a downside to being on your feet.

Lol, had to dash to my dictionary for that one. Yes, maybe I could come up with a new word.
Thanks
I think I would try to re-create the sound, give the cat a say in the matter, write it as a line of dialogue.
With the disclaimer that I've never carried my cat, Cornelius, in a bag, I can report that he starts out angry and hissing when I put him in his carrier to take him to the vets. When I drape a cloth over the front of it to block the light, he settles into more of a plaintive wail, not unlike I imagine an attenuated operatic baritonal aubade.
Cornelius says, "Wrowwwer, Wrow, Wuhwrowwer..."
