Sam cat, short for Samantha about a year ago started yowling every night
and I do mean very loudly

she's 13 or 14 (they weren't sure of her age when I got Sam) she's neutred

everything is fine says her vet

i keep a radio and light on at night, helped at first

now she yowls day & night, not all the time
but a hell of a lot

think feliway would help?

How long ago was she checked? Things can change fast at that age. How about
her hearing? Does she respond to your voice? I would guess that unless it is
anxiety related Feliway won't help. If is, it might.

did the vet check all these possibilities, especially hypertension?

Has your cat had a T4 test for thyroid function? This is a specialized
test that is not included with basic bloodwork. Hyperthyroid cats
commonly exhibit the behavior you describe and it is a condition that is
seen in older cats. If you haven't done this, or even a basic blood
profile I would definitely recommend you do both before you decide this
is a behavior issue.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
