It's driving us crazy, but she just keeps going. The only time she's quiet is if she's eating or sleeping. She's 9 (human years), and has always chosen to be an only cat. She's an inside cat and very healthy, always has food and water and very spoiled! If I do get her another cat she just bullies it around or ignores it. Suddenly, she's psycho. At night we'll put her in the room with us and she'll start up, so we let her out and she stands on the other side of the door and meows!!! I've never heard her, (or any cat for that matter!), meow so much! She making my roommates hate us and I need her to stop, any suggestions?!

Cat see's vet regularly, and is, or thinks she is, a princess! Yes, I spoil her, she's been by my side for 9 years, of course she's spoiled, but has always been well disciplined up till lately!?!

I take it this is a new habit of hers--- it may be her way of telling you that she is not feeling well--- they are much smarter than we give them credit for--- take her to a vet.
I just read the water gun answer-- please do not do that-- your cat is 9 years old this is not a normal behavior for your cat-- what that guy is suggesting is animal abuse!!!

This is very hard to understand as she is already spayed. Ordinarily in cats which are not spayed they would make this unending meow. Probably although she has been spayed there might be a regrowth of her ovaries causing hormone production like that of a cat which is in heat that is why she won't shut up. There are times during surgery when the ovaries are not totally removed and they regrow causing the problem. I am not really sure if this is the case but I have encountered many cats who have been spayed yet they come in heat . Then when resected, the ovary will be seen to have regrow. Try to consult the vet who operated your cat. This might be the case.

Try some different cat recipes and see what happens:
"Cat Crackers"
6 Ounces Undrained tuna - 1 C Cornmeal
1 C Flour - 1/3 C Water
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Measure all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into treat sized pieces. Place on a greased cookie sheet. bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.Let cool. Give to your cat and watch them gobble it up.
You might try giving this one at NIGHT.
"Homemade Kitty Yum Yums"
1/2 C Dry cat food
1/4 C Warm water or milk - 3 T Catnip
Put the cat food and milk in the bowl and mix well. Pour out any extra water. Sprinkle the catnip over the mixture and mix well. If you like you may bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 min.

Seeing to her needs is not spoiling her. Don't give in to your Vet's answer. He may have missed something, he's only human. Try again (as if you are made of money). I hope she is not psycho and you are able get to the bottom of her problem soon. Your story just sounds so much like my cat when he was in constant pain. P.S. I've heard that aspirin is poison to cats, consult your vet if he suggests something for pain.

When an older cat or dog starts vocalizing a lot more than before, driving the owner nuts, it is often a sign that she is losing her hearing. Her health could be fine otherwise. If this is the case, you will need to find new ways to communicate with her; I've heard that stomping on the floor can get a deaf cat's attention.

You better take her to the vet ..she may be in pain
or she needs extreme attention . Is he alone all day?
Everytime I get people asking me that I suggest another cat and it always works.. in time the bullying will stop, ignoring it is alright .
Try again ! I had a friend in your situation ..cat ignored or bullyed it .. she stopped meowing ! she may need a playmate .

I strongly suggest that you take her to the vet, ASAP. I had a cat that did that. It drove me crazy for a couple of weeks and then I couldn't take it any longer. They ended up taking a urine sample because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. It turned out that he had a terrible bladder infection. In fact, the vet had never see one so bad before. It took a couple of months of antibiotics to finally get it cleared up. He stopped crying within a couple days.

Something might be hurting her physically. Ask your vet.
Is she getting some quiet time with you and some petting? Can she see OK? Maybe she sleeps a lot during the day and wants to be awake at night.
Some cats are talkers (meowers ) and some aren't. I hope she is OK........they probably wish we could understand them better than we do. Does she like to chase a ribbon or ball........something to give her exercise? Best wishes.

It sounds as if she's in heat. Have you had her spayed?? If not, I would think about contacting my vet or local Humane Society to have it done. I'd bet dollars to donuts that'll put a stop to her yowling.

It might be some mental or hormone thing,
Seriously consider giving her raw milk.
It made the difference of health in my cats.
