My cat wont stop meowing,whats wrong with her?

Question

A couple of days ago me,mom and my cat Honey moved into a new house. The first day my cat was scared and huddled up into a corner most of the time. The day after she was ok and looking around. But today she hasnt stopped meowing. She does it loud and nonestop. Why is she doing this?also when should it be safe to put her outside?

Btw she is not in heat because i had her neutered.

Answer 1

sounds like she is still scared and is calling you when she can't hear or see you.

cats are nothing more than a 2 yr old child....always think like that and you'll understand a cat. they can't talk but they get your attention, etc for what they want.

I would let the cat choose when to go outside. Let her get use to her new home, the smell, the layout, etc. When she wants to go out and feels safe she'll meow at an open window or at the door.

Remember...she's tiny so the place is HUGE to her compared to what you see and feel. Just have patience.

Answer 2

She's probably in heat or still scared because of the move. Cats have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans, and though you've moved much of the same things, the places where she slept or used the litter box aren't there anymore. She needs to get comfortable and it may take a while. Keep her with a person in your household as much as possible. Put her kitty bed(if she has one) in the same place as the old house. Keep her routine as close to what she had before as possible, that will help a lot.

Don't let her out until you get her spayed and get a new collar with ID tag with your new address and phone number on it, and make sure she knows where she lives NOW. Nothing like having a cat disappear becuase they've run away to the old house, leaving you to worry about him/her.

Good luck, hon, and I hope kitty settles down soon.

Answer 3

9 circumstances out of ten while a cat drools that is because of the fact the cat is under pressure for some reason. it must be some thing so common as a hunk of food caught between that is tooth, or possibly possibly there's a clean member of the relatives ie yet another animal or new infant. If it maintains after some days at little verify up on the vet does not harm.

Answer 4

It's a no brainer. Your cat is disturbed by the new environment. It's only been a few days and cats take a long time to feel ok about a new place. You should keep her in a couple of months in her new home before you let her out. If you're not near a busy road then she should eventually be okay going out and exploring her new territory! Done it before with my cat...no problem. You do however need to give her time to adjust.

Answer 5

Oh, poor baby! It's very likely she's still upset by the move and
needs reassurance. I had 8 cats the last time I moved, and it
took two of them well over a month to get really comfortable.

A little bit of extra attention, and when you're home, making sure
she can see/hear/smell you and know her mom's around will
help.

I would also put in a plea to consider allowing the kitty to stay
indoors. Indoor only kitties live about twice as long as indoor/
outdoor cats. I realize that it may be your mom's choice and
not yours, but honestly 95% of all cats PREFER being inside.
My parents wouldn't let me bring our cats completely indoors
when I was growing up, and two of them died long, painful
deaths as a direct result - one was sleeping in a car wheel
well because it was cold when my father started the car, and
the other was attacked by a dog. Keep your baby inside if at
ALL possible... the first two cats I adopted when I moved out
lived to be 16 and 18 - it was hard losing them to old age, but
much easier than losing them to senseless outdoor trauma.

Lecture over... sorry!

Answer 6

If SHE is meowing, then you had HER spayed. Not neutered.

She is probably calling to you because she's not sure where she is yet.

And as to your other question, it is NEVER safe to put her outside. Please read the other question that was recently asked about a cat being brutally KILLED after being left outside. Cats should live INSIDE all the time. With dogs, cars, other cats, wild animals, and crazy people who think cats should be killed with ammonia, your sweet kitty should live inside with YOU. Please consider making her an inside cat, for her sake (especially) and your own (you'd be heartbroken if she ended up dead, right?).

Also, I forgot one thing. Your neighbors can have her picked up (or take her to the shelter themselves) by animal control if they see her off your property. Meaning, if she walks onto the SIDEWALK somebody can grab her and take her to the shelter, where they will list her as a stray if she has no ID. And that's if she survives long enough to be picked up. You will have to pay to get her back. If she does have a collar and tag, they will attempt to contact you (but is it correct, since you say you just moved?). If they reach you they will ask for proof of vaccination. If you don't have that they will charge you an extra fine on top of the charge to reclaim her, for not being vaccinated, AND most will charge another $10-$20 on top of BOTH to have her vaccinated right then and there before you are allowed to take her. If they don't reach you, or you can't pay to reclaim her (at my shelter those fees would have been $75 altogether) she will likely be euthanized. Most adult cats are not adopted. She may have come back fine a million times before, but it only takes once. Please think about that before you let her out again!

Answer 7

She's just stressed by the move to a new environment. Believe me, I know. My oldest cat has been moved 5 times, and she will not shut up. She's reverted to, basically, a small child. She cries and cries for attention. And that's mild compared to what she was 2 years ago when we first moved here.

Just give your cat some time to adjust. She'll eventually calm down. Distract her with toys and affection and she will be okay :)

Answer 8

Give her plenty of TLC, let her know she's safe. make sure that she can find food, water and toilet okay. try not to move her stuff around, as it'll confuse her. find an area that can be hers until she has completely settled, somwhere out of the way of all the unpacking, place her favourite sleep-on item and her toys there.
If she doesn't stop in a few days then ask a vet.

Let her go out when she's ready, a week or so is fine.

Good luck with the new home.

Answer 9

If the cat is anything but a hardcore dominant cat (unlikely if it's a her) then you really don't want to put her outside. She won't be settled in to the new house and won't see it as home. I'd leave it at least a couple weeks.

If it is a hardcore kitty then it'll want to take over the neighbourhood at the first opportunity ;)

Answer 10

It takes awhile for cats to adjust to moving. My cats like to cuddle up on our bed when we move because they feel safe and secure there. Sounds like your cat is really scared and needs reassuring and a safe place that she is familiar with in your house. When she starts feeling comfortable around the house you can probably let her out, but keep a watch on her so she doesn't get lost.
