the cats meow. does anyone want it?

Question

he just wont shut up and i dont know why...

he has food, water and a clean litter tray toys to play with and loads of cuddles. i dont get it...

he is male and he has been neutered

Answer 1

Did you try feeding him?

Answer 2

Have you changed anything in the house?

Is it too hot for him?

Does he just want some love, just because? Or have you been for a while at an unusual time?

Is he the wrong side of a closed door? (Of course if a door's closed a cat always thinks he's on the wrong side of it!)

Is he feeling poorly?

Does his litter tray need emptying?

Something from above is usually the reason our cat miaows. Although I swear some days she just does it because she's feeling evil and wants to annoy someone!

Answer 3

He may be just trying to communicate with you. I read somewhere that cats who are raised by humans tend to meow more than those which are raised in the wild. I have four cats. My oldest cat was born in a home environment and has always been around humans. Sometimes we just talk. When he starts meowing, the more I talk to him, the more he meows. Another of my cats was raised in the wild for the first nine months of his life. He is a very sweet and affectionate kitty, but he hardly meows at all. If you have met all the requirements for his comfort, maybe he just wants to talk.

Answer 4

Firstly, how old is the cat? Male cats over approximately eight years, and females over approximately 12 years, are subject to the same diseases of ageing as we are. Your puss may therefore have anything from toothache to arthritis.

If the puss is meowing all the time, it is either frustrated or in pain. Consult a vet, pronto.

Answer 5

My cat does the same thing and he is a male. When he was little, he was very needy and touchy feely, so I held him alot. When he was older it didn't stop. I don't mind. Does he sit at the window? How about the door? Get a harness and teach him to walk outside. He may just be board. When he caterwauls answer him to let him know he is not alone,.

Answer 6

He may just be a "talker" My cat is "talking" all the time. I have learned to tell the difference between her "I need fed" meow and the "cuddle with me" meow.
It can be annoying...I have no idea what you can do about it...
Sorry:(

Answer 7

Check his teeth - he could be in pain.


Get him some Cat-nip toys to destract him and lots of hugs too....

Talk to him... He's just trying to hold a conversation.
My old cat would sit for hours mewing at me. We had lots of chats about all sort of things.

Answer 8

cats love the outdoors it is their instinct to be outside , so if your keeping him indoors he is probally longing to go outside and play. cat toys do not give them what they get outdoors like climbing trees hunting etc.since i started letting my cat go out i don't have to have a litter pan in my house anymore, my cat comes in and eats gets some loving sometimes takes a nap and is ready to go back out.

Answer 9

Cats are a lot like people, they get moody, they like to play, they get lazy & smelly, their hair falls out,...

And some cats (like people) are just darmed crazy!!!

You're lucky, your cat is either a talker or he's certifiably nuts, like the previous person says he likes to hear himself talk, OR he's a clairvoyant - he's talking to the spirts or maybe his immaginary friends, who knows.

Personally I love Talkie Cats.
you could almost carry a conversation with one.
I had one cat - My favorite, I had her since she popped outta her momma. We bonded at her birth and the mother cat didn't mind me touching her kittens. To make a long story short, she followed me Everywhere, she even chased my school bus just to follow me to school. I had her for 24 years, she was very responsive and she actually seemed to understand me when I talked to her. She'd talk to me on her own to tell me to feed her, pick her up, its time to play, I feel not so good take me to the doctor ( she really had a particular meow for when she was ill ),... Oh when you really get to know your cat (when its trained You well enough) you'll know that cats have very distinctive Meows, its just their way of telling you how much they love you.
It broke my heart to put her too sleep, but I didn't want her to suffer in her old age.

My present cat I got from a shelter/rescue, when I got him he was so meek and quiet. But I would meow at him as if I were talking to him. And he never knew what it was like to play I had to teach him. He's a beautiful cat, but he didn't like to be held.

Well I taught him how to appreciate affection and to play. 3 years later (now) After a lot of biting and scratches, -He won't shut up, . . . He hates being left alone, He loves to be petted all over or "kratched" constantly, he likes to sit in my lap and snooze (the only time he's actually quiet), and he likes to welcome me home by scolding me and using my leg as a scratching post, then jumps up on my shoulder for endless cuddles, petting and kratching.

I don't understand him yet, but he's deffinitely talking on his own, I know he's not crazy because he always talks at me, when he thinks I'm ignoring him he paws my feet or leg just to get my attention. When I'm trying to sleep he sits on my head, and meows softly in my ear.

Its alright - I love my kitty, he reminds me so much of my other talkie kitty. Except this one is a boy and still hasn't learned that he's not supposed to bite his daddy (me) and no I've never spanked him, though sometimes i will bite him back after he's bitten or scratched me, not too hard but just enough so that he'll learn its not nice to bite someone.

Answer 10

My cat meows too, I just start to talk to him and ask him what he wants. He then want me to play or stroke him. We have a great time.

Answer 11

feed her some whiskers - 9 out of 10 cats prefer that! :p
