greetings, our 20 y.o female "ada" has begun to have howling episodes for about 6 months now, and they are becoming very frequent. out of the blue, day or night she starts howling loudly, sometimes going on for 20 seconds or so. today i watched her walk into a room corner and start howling at the corner for no apparent reason. her howls are very deep and somewhat creepy at 3 in the morning! thanks for any input cj >greetings, our 20 y.o female "ada" has begun to have howling episodes >for about 6 months now, and they are becoming very frequent. out of the >blue, day or night she starts howling loudly, sometimes going on for 20 >seconds or so. today i watched her walk into a room corner and start >howling at the corner for no apparent reason. her howls are very deep >and somewhat creepy at 3 in the morning! Could be a sign of hyperthyroidsm, uremia (from kidney disease), hypertension or cognitive disfunction. Have you taken her to vet recently and gotten her blood tested?

I hope it's not kidney failure,..but that needs to be ruled out quickly by the Vet. My thoughts are with you and Ada.

The fact that it suddenly started means you should check for medical problems. I have a cat that has done that since maturity so it's normal for him. Should one of my other cats start it, I'd take it to the vet. (ESPECIALLY at 20 years of age. That's like, 110 years old for a person.) > greetings, our 20 y.o female "ada" has begun to have howling episodes for > about 6 months now, and they are becoming very frequent. out of the blue, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > thanks for any input > cj _________________________________________ I agree with everyone, please let your vet have a look at her. Does sound like she is in some kind of distress. Could even be a rotting tooth. Dental care is so important, we all know what tooth or mouth pain feels like... and bad gums can lead to all kinds of other ailments... Anyway, not meaning to be so wordy, just that I care and wish you and your little one the best, and hopefully it can be cleared up fast, for both of you!
