For example, in Engish a cat says "meow", a dog says "woof", a cow says "moo"...I remember that in Spanish a cat says "miau" and a dog says "guau". Other examples of animal onomatopoeia in other languages?

Interesante pregunta.
In Spanish:
cat = miau
dog = ¡guau, guau!
rooster = ki- kirikííííííí
chicken while walking = toc, toc, toc, toc, toc.....
chicken laying egg = ¡Toc, toc, toc, toc, toc, tocuá!
cows = ¡Muuuuuuuuuuuu!
baby chickens = ¡Pío, pío, pío!
goat = ¡Beeeeeeeeeeee!
duck = ¡cuác, cuác!
coquí = ¡Co-kí! ¡Co-kí! The "coquí" is a tiny Puerto Rican frog and almost our national symbol. It gets its name form the sound it makes.

My current cat says "eat" and "out". I had one cat actually say" I love you". My ex-boyfriend and I looked at each other like what the hell... we were stunned and burst into laughter. He never spoke again! Aaaawwww, poor kitty! We had both of these cats since they were born.

In Germany, roosters say "ka-ki-rah-ki!"
I still remember that from German class in high school.
