Is that a great horned owl making un-owl like sounds in San Jose?

"Great horned owls don't have the repertoire of a song bird, but they do have some range. The call of the great horned owl is described as hoo-h'HOO-hoo-hoo, and the female will often add in a one syllable call that is more guttural. Young owls make a high-pitched demanding squawk when telling their parents they're hungry. When angry or threatened, the owls make a rapid clicking sound with their beaks."

"One of our cats is a challenge to pill and I have found a different solution that works for us. We have a pill syringe. We place a pill in the syringe and open our cat's mouth and with the syringe shoot the pill to the back of the mouth. If you get the pill past the hump of the tongue, the cat has to swallow the pill. The plus to this method is you can't accidentally put your fingers between the cat's teeth."

Great horned owls live in urban and suburban areas and produce a variety of vocalizations. The primary call is hoo-h'HOO-hoo-hoo, and females may add a single, more guttural syllable. Young owls emit a high-pitched demanding squawk to signal hunger, and adults make rapid clicking sounds with their beaks when angry or threatened. Urban neighborhoods host diverse wildlife that often goes unnoticed, so residents should avoid actions that could harm animals. For cats that resist pills, a pill syringe can deliver medication to the back of the mouth, preventing finger bites and forcing a swallow. Trimming claws during feeding by picking up paws and nipping off sharp tips provides a practical at-home grooming method.
