He just wants attention. Play with him for an hour before you go to bed.

Try playing with the cat before bedtime. He'll be tired from playing and also since he's just had your attention, he may not feel he has to meow at you during the night.
Don't allow him to "train" you into getting up in the night and feeding him or petting him. If you respond to his meows with attention, he'll know he has a good thing going.

Well, cats are nocturnal, but perhaps he's hungry or is upset that the litter box isn't clean. Cats meow for a reason and it may take a few nights of dectective work to figure out the reason.

Leave enough food out for them to eat as they want. My cats have always had both dry and canned and eat when they want to.They never got fat. I have always had outdoor cats but I have an indoors cat now. Get them spayed or neutered as soon as they are old enough. If his litter box is cleaned often and he is eating well he should be fine. . If the cats in your neighborhood are in "heat" that may be what he is meowing about. Then he wants outside. If you keep him in he will continue until the cat in heat is out. I keep furry fake mice and toys around for my cats to entertain themselves. I keep disturbing my cat during the day so she sleeps better at night. Hope this helps.

Some cats just "talk" more than others. My oldest cat has always been an extremely quiet cat. You'd barely hear a meow out of him. My youngest one loves to talk, and lets me know when he's bored, when he's surprised, when he's ready to play, etc. etc. etc. It might be something you just have to get used to.
Try not reacting when he meows at you at night. It might make him realize it's no use to try to wake you up, and he'll quit.

Yeah he could be injury hungry or thirsty, If he's sitting via a door attempt letting him in if he's following you and meowing he could desire to desire interest. attempt changing his nutrition and water first. If he would not end then, attempt beginning the doorways interior the abode. If he retains meowing verify him over. If he retains meowing enable him outdoors, if he would not desire outdoors play a interest with him. If that doesnt artwork sparkling out his clutter field. If he continues to be meowing call the vet. sturdy success.

My cat was bored and did the same thing. She never shut up, and it seemed like she did every annoying thing she could think of. We got her spayed, and she became an inside/outside cat, staying outside all night and most of the day. She loves it out there because there is always something for her to chase and occupy her. Unless your cat isn't neutered, I would suggest letting him stay outside at least during the night. Cats just weren't meant to stay inside all the time.

I don't allow my cats in my bedroom at night, they get used to it after a few days once you close your door they wont even meow to get in anymore. Cats like to be up and about at night so make sure they have enough food in their bowl and water. Also make sure the kitty box is clean they don't like it when its dirty. I have lots of toys laying around for my kitties and I rotate them because they can get bored from the toys. you can also hide treats around the house they like to find them. Good luck hope you get some rest!

yeah, cats have a bit of a nocturnal life. He might truly be bored. How about keeping the bedroom door closed at night, or letting him out?

try to kennel him at night in a cat carrier you will need to make sure he has used the litter box and eaten and drank some water prior to putting him in so the meowing wont happen
