What does it mean when a cat meows continuously and loud? It's been a week since my brother's cat stayed here with my cat. And Marshall, the older of my brother's cat, is staying hiding behind the dresser, and almost came out three times. But today he made loud continuous meows? Does it mean he's sick, lonely, or something else? Any thoughts on this would help.

Hi Kriten...most likely Marshall is feeling stressed from being in a new and strange environment. Each cat reacts differently to new changes. If he is eating, drinking water and still using the litter box then he is physically fine. Try offering him some cat food treats and play time with a toy to help him become more trusting of you and the home. If a home is fun and comforting cats soon become less stressed. It always takes time for cats to adjust to a new environment because by nature they are territorial animals and like staying in one place which is familiar.

A male cat, urinary tract infection or an obstruction come to mind. Stress can increase a cat's chances of developing a UTI, and hiding cats are often hiding because they don't feel well. In the wild, sick cats hide to protect themselves, and housecats are notorious for hiding illnesses.

I have two cats. When they do that, I usually means they don't feel good. My cat did that when her paw was hurt. We took her to the doctor and he said that she had a bad fingernail. It could be a smiler case.
Hope This Helps!

It doesn't sound normal. That would make me nervous. I would check the stool? Is he eating? Is he sleeping? Animals do not do anything out of the ordinary unless something is changing with them or their surroundings, so I would not ignore it.
