Answer 1

overridden method.
you can say ...

any two methods with same (name,parameters and return type) we will call it overridden method.
if any deference in parameters or return type but with same name, it means overloaded method.

Answer 2

The Cat class it's overriding the method makeSound inherited from class Animal. In this case changes de text "Grr..." to "Meow" from class Animal that is printed when the method is called.
