No because pounce describes an action...Onomatopoeia's are actual sounds...examples are "BANG!" or "CRASH!" or..."moooo!" etc...

no, onomatopoeia is a word that represents a sound, pounce is a physical action, not a sound

No, because "pounce" is an action, not a sound. If your cat pounces on a mouse, you hear a thump or a squeak or a thud, but you don't hear a something that starts with a "puh" sound or ends with "ounce" sound.

No. Pouncing does not make the sound "pounce." Onamatopoeia is the name of a sound, and sounds like the sound it is naming. "ring, dong, boom, crash."

Not quite. The word has to sound like the action it refers to. Try : pop, sizzle, crash, buzz.
