Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2006cat howling
My 10 year old neutered male cat has recently been howling for hours on end. He walks into another room and just howls. I either go to him or carry him back with me and he just wanders back into another empty room and howls. A horrible sound. He has started to become interested in the shower, bathroom mirror and the bathroom in general. It's weird. He just is acting strange. There are no other problems.. he eats, poops and sleeps well. The howling starts in the morning and all hours I am home after work. He doesn't do it at night. I've been reading other messages from people here and some say it could be dementia, but their cats are 17 or over in age and mine is only 10. Still a senior cat but not that old. I will plan on a visit to the vets but was wondering if anyone had a similar experience or ideas on what could be going on? Have his hearing checked he might be going deaf and can not hear what he is doing.

He usually sits with me on the sofa and last night he only wanted to stay in the bathroom. When I shower, he paws at the curtain to get in. Even when he gets wet, he still wants in. > > Have his hearing checked he might be going deaf and can not hear what he > > is doing.

Even when he gets wet, he still wants in. My hyperthyroid cat used to do this all the time. She stopped when she began her thyroid pills. Take her in. Hyperthyroid cats are at risk for blood clots/strokes and other things. It is easy and cheap to control. I agree with the others. Sounds like hyperthyroid to me. > > > Have his hearing checked he might be going deaf and can not hear what > he [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Inviato da X-Privat.Org - Registrazione gratuita http://www.x-privat.org/join.php He could be becoming deaf. It could be hyperactive thyroid. He definitely needs to be checked by a vet. Gail > My 10 year old neutered male cat has recently been howling for hours on > end.

Be sure to ask your vet for a thyroid test. Howling or constant crying is often an indicator. MaryL |
