One cat's cryptic take on a lyric

A scene from this afternoon:

My cat, Sylvia, and I were listening to "The Littlest Birds" by The Be Good Tanyas.  We had this exchange:

Me (quoting the chorus:) So, do "the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs," in your opinion?
Sylvia (softly, after a considered pause:) Mew.

Sylvia has a vet appointment coming up, so I wonder if the vet will translate her answer as a yes or a no.
