One of the earliest appearances of this sound was in the 1980 film "Forbidden Zone". Then it later appeared in Disney cartoon shows like DuckTales (since the episode "Magica's Shadow War" on September 28, 1987) and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. It wouldn't be until 1989 when The Simpsons would commonly use it for Snowball II, and the Crazy Cat Lady's cats.
Since then, the worldwide popularity of the sound effect continues to appear in other TV shows, other films, and also began to appear in other medias like theme park attractions, video games, commercials, and others. The sound effect can be heard in several updated editions of several movies and some TV shows made prior to 1987 such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Brady Bunch episode "The Honeymoon". It also can be heard in some live shows, concerts and theatre plays such as Monty Python's Spamalot and Les Miserables the Musical.
It is possible that this sound was recorded the same time and these sounds, Cats Two Meowing Clos PE022401 and Two Cats Screeching And Moaning (the earliest use of a portion of was heard in Forbidden Zone) were being recorded too. It may be the distorted sound from the yowling. It is included as part of the Soundelux Sound Library. Soundelux owns The Hollywood Edge. This is more likely a condensed version of the original sound from the Soundelux vault. One of the cats recorded in this sound effect was likely Wylie Stateman's pet part-Siamese cat, Cheeta.
Here's how the sound effect goes:
The first part of it is the cats quietly meowing and angrily moaning. Then it is followed by four loud yowls and screams. After that there is more quiet moaning. Then there are two more yowls. The six yowls seem to be the most used and the most popular, especially the 3rd, 4th, and 6th ones.

Trivia
This happens to be the most common cat screech sound effect that has been used for nearly every angry cat or off-screen crash in media, to the point that it received its own TVTropes page under the name of That Poor Cat in 2007.
Although the sound was rarely used in media during the 1980s, it wasn't until the beginning of the 1990s (since the second season of The Simpsons) that the sound started to be used constantly in every media and is still being used today.
