catbirds do have a diagnostic call that sounds similar to a cat's meow, but aren't gold and black.
the two most common gold and black birds (in the US at least) are the evening grossbeak and the american goldfinch, try searching those birds and see if they look like what you saw.
another possiblity (unless you actually saw the bird singing) is that you heard a baby or juvenile squirrel and saw the bird, i was tricked like this when i heard what i thought to be a cat but looked up and saw a squirrels nest few babies in it.

Sparrow hawks and Gos hawks make a mewing sound, especially during the breeding season or if they are young birds. I don't know about the gold colour but they do ave black spots and bars in thier plumage. do you live near woodland? even a very small patch can house sparrow hawks.

Many birds have the ability to mimic sounds, like parrots, Mina birds or mocking birds. I found some info and a picture of a mocking bird at: http://www.localusa.com/florida/birds/mockingbird/mockingbird.php

Could be, and I'm not making this up, Catbird or a variety of cardinal. In Texas, I've had the mockingbird parrot phone rings and cats.

Maybe a Spotted Catbird? (I didn't even know there was a bird called a catbird until now... lol...)
