Place it at the start of a fake call scene, then follow the reveal with a cat laugh for the payoff and keep a single meow for a later callback in the same edit.
About this sound
This 14-second clip is built around cat meows arranged as a phone alert, so the ringing you expect is replaced by a feline call that sounds like a handset meowing. It feels playful and instantly silly, with a chaotic edge that makes people smile before they work out what is ringing. The joke lands because a familiar alert becomes something cute and unexpected.
