Take her to vet vet to be spayed, after 6-8 weeks, you cat will no longer have estrogen running through her system, making her make funny, screaming noises!

Has she been spayed? If not, she's probably in heat. Female cats act like they should be standing on a street corner in fishnets and heels when they're in heat and they sound pretty desperate to do it too!
She should definitely get spayed. Even if she's an indoor only kitty, they're very very good at escaping while in heat. And they can get knocked up by mulitple males too (that's why a momma cat can have babies that look nothing like each other). If she meets a tom who is much bigger than her, giving birth can kill both her and her babies.
A spay is normally pretty cheap, though some vets charge more if they do while she's in heat. In my area, the total cost (including painrelievers and anesthetic) is under $100. If you have financial difficulties, there are organizations that offer spays for free or at very low cost. Contact your local humane association for information about that. They may run such program themselves and if not will certainly know who does.

Is she an indoor cat? maybe she is sad or sees an outdorr cat and trying to show this is her territory. My cat will do that when she sees another animal come in our yard. If she does the screaming while in her potty she probably has a kidney infection. Maybe she is lonely and wants more attnetion. I hope she is ok, I adore cats. We had a boy cat once who was an outside cat he would scream when a female was in heat. Good luck.

Hi Jessica...if your cat is over the age of 5 months and has never been spayed she may be going into "heat" which means she is sexually mature and is receptive to being mated. Spaying will resolve this. If she is already then spayed she may have a lower urinary tract disorder which is CRITICAL that she goes in to be treated as some cats can suffer urethral obstructions which can be fatal if not treated within 24-48 hours.

They have 24 hour animal hospitals... U should take her... She could just be in heat... How long has she been making these noises? If she is in heat, it could last up to 2 or so weeks... Could she have gotten into something? Maybe she is in pain... Well good luck!

Either this is a phase, you haven't spayed {and Angel is giving birth}, or something bad has been hapening, physical, or mental. You might want to take angel to the vet.

She could be in heat. I know my cat did some STRANGE things when she was "heated." Take her to the vet, just to be sure!

She is in heat this is normal for most cats. I have one that screams her head off all the time when she is in heat

If she hasn't been spayed, she could be in heat.
Otherwise, a visit to the vet is in order, if only to find out what's hurting her.
Good luck!
