Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2006cat non-stop meowing
Hello everyone --- I haven't thought about getting help on a newsgroup for my cat until tonight. Duhhh! Anyway, my cat who is a rescued cat is about 3+ years old. I have had him for a little over 2 years. He was an outside cat, and now I keep him inside because of coyotes (yes - in Atlanta, GA! ) and increasing traffic on the road around here. Recently he has started non-stop yammering. I feed him and it stops but only briefly. I built an outdoor "pen" with a 24/7 catdoor for him and often he sits out there and *still* yammers. Last year he did it about this time of year, but eventually calmed down after a couple of weeks. It seems like it is going on forever and won't stop this time, though. Sometimes I just freak and yell at him "What!?!?!" but I know that is not good for our relationship. He is a really sweet kitty other than this behaviour. Also, he has only hopped in my lap once in the past couple of weeks. That may or may not be a symptom, but I thought I'd throw that in. Someone in a Google search suggested that cats do this when they have high blood pressure, thyroid trouble, or are going deaf. Tomorrow I am calling the vet since it is so uncharacteristic of him to do this for this long. Just wondering if anyone else has had this same problem and what was the outcome/solution for you ? Anyway, any comments on this are welcome. Thanks ! Holy Hell an actual intelligent animal lover really needing help in the newsgroup. Sorry had to throw that in so many people come here wanting help in the newsgroup but when we say go to a vet they get mad and want us to diagnose a cat over the internet so they don't have to pay money. They expect us to come up with a diagnoses sight un seen. You are already doing that going to a vet and you described some of the symptoms in the post. Yes those problems can cause the problem. I am glad you taking the cat to the vet My cat precious who passed away a few months ago she was going senile and deaf from age and she would yammer until you can over and touched her then she would shut up. I had another cat that had a blockage in the ear and caused the cat to be unable to hear himself so he did not realize how loud he was. Also my rumble who is epileptic the medicine he is taken has given a side effect of him being very vocal > Hello everyone --- I haven't thought about getting help on a newsgroup for > my cat until tonight.

My cat needs a vet. You need ... geee, I dunno ... some kinda help ! > No thanks - you can butter your own butt. > My cat needs a vet. You need ... geee, I dunno ... some kinda help ! i know you are but what am i Thanks for the feedback! I was shocked to see how fast it came back - wow! I am used to 24 hour turn-around on newsgroups. Come to think of it, Coco - my cat - doesn't really yammer when I get up and pet him. Hmmmm - I wonder what that means ? Have you ever had one that let out a meow when they used the litter box ? It's just a single "Meowr!", and only now and then. I think it's comical, but perhaps it is also a symptom of something. I have checked behind him and haven't seen anything alarming in the box when I notice he does that. I'll try to remember to mention it when we see the vet. Anyway, thanks for the fast feedback. Kinda makes me feel better! Thanks again ! > Holy Hell an actual intelligent animal lover really needing help in the > newsgroup.

Gained 1/2 lb in last 2 months. Rack that one up to me being weak and overfeeding him. Actually, the vet couldn't find anything wrong with him, so that is our best guess for the moment. I am to restrict his food intake and see if losing some weight helps his attitude at all. Anyway - thanks for the help ! JCD >Have you ever had one that let out a meow when they used the litter box ? It's just a single "Meowr!", and only now and then. I Careful about this. If a cat has a urinary tract infection, it is painful when they urinate and they may cry out. Sometimes they will go in other areas than the litter box too. If a male cat has a UTI and it is left untreated, the struvite crystals can build up and cause his urethra to become blocked; the urine will then not be able to come out at all (which is an emergency situation). Just make sure you keep an eye on this and if you think he may be experiencing an infection, have vet take a urine sample. Thanks! I told the vet about this today & she made a note of it. She said his bladder was empty, so at least he can go. But I will keep a watch out - thanks for the advice ! > >Have you ever had one that let out a meow when they used the litter box ?
