Actually we use the same syllable with a different tone(miao1) to discribe cat "mew"s, another common one is "mi 1", I think I must have came by one million chinese cats named "Mimi"..
"bei zhan you" is silly, that's the conventional meaning for "owned"
IMHO it's "miao" , lit."second". It's short for "miao sha", i.e "slay somebody within seconds".(here's a picture of the characters http://i3.tinypic.com/6kqmirc.gif )
