Is it correct that English doesn't have a sound to call cats?

Hello everyone,

I know 'Here kitty, kitty, kitty!', but I've heard that there isn't a special sound in English for calling a cat. Here's what I mean: you're outside, you see a cat, and you make a sound to get its attention because you want it to come over so you can pet it.

In my language we say 'ks-ks-ks', and I've always thought it was universal lol.

Thank you guys very much!
