Jessy heard a cat cry.
(Did the cat weep or shout according to the sentence?)
Cats seem to have only one sound! They can vary the volume to some degree, but a meow is just a meow.
If the meow is loud, then it's called a cry. That usually means the cat is angry or frightened.
So to answer your question, cats don't weep, but their cries can be equated to shouting.
