My kitten will not stop meowing! He is well fed, watered, played with, more then loved, clean litter box! How do I get him to stop wandering around meowing? It's driving my roomie and I nuts. He seems to be doing it for no reason. We have tried using a water bottle by spraying him when he meows for no apparent reason. He doesn't like the water bottle and will stop while it's visable. As soon as he runs out of the room he will start again. Please help!

Maybe your kitten is lonely & missing it's litter mates. Or maybe something is physically wrong. Take it to the vet to be sure it isn't something physical first. If nothing is wrong physically, try getting a stuffed animal for the kitten to play with & sleep with.

Some kittens simply meow a lot... especially if they're very small. It's just the kitty's personality showing through! A little bit of a loud mouth on your hands. Hee hee. :) I'm sure that as he grows older it will change... my cat Suzy used to meow constantly, but only if I was in the kitchen. And for no apparent reason. She doesn't do it anymore. Some kitties are just cutely odd. :P

You didn't mention your kitten's age.After satisfying all his needs like you perfectly do, we're left with the issue of sexual desire which can cause a growing kitten {1 year and older} to meow nervously.I solved this problem with my silver persian kitten by spaying her .She lived happily everafter.Please check pet sites on the web to know more about cat neutering which is the equivalent to spaying , in male cats.

Wow, you spray your cat with water for meowing?
Our male cat talks alot because he's part Siamese. We just talk back to him, hold him, play with him, feed him, see what he needs.....
Our relatively quiet little female, will sometimes surprise us and come up and talk to us too. We try to figure out what she needs, and if we can't, we just talk to her and pet her. She eventually stops and goes and plays or takes a nap. No problem.
But one morning she was talking alot and come to find out the male was in our closet with the door shut and we hadn't noticed!

I have the same problem with my cat Gizmo as well. He is not really a kitten but we have noticed that he just is asking for attention when he does that. As soon as we pick him up and start petting him, he will start purring. But a short stroke will not do, you have to pet him for as long as he wants it. And usually, he stops right after that.
Hope this helps.

Some cats are simply more vocal then others. If you haven't had him for long, he is still used to talking to other kittens and mom. It should slow down the older he gets, but still some cats (especally siamese) are very vocal, not much you can do

You could try ignoring him. Or it could be that your kitten is just plain talkative.
Is there a chance that your kitten is hurting and he's trying to tell you?
Most kitties do quiet down as they get older. But if you don't feel able to wait it out, give him to someone who can. For both your peace of mind, and his.

Your kitten is not happy with you.
The kitten is meowing because it *needs*.. ... ... something (?)
Is it hurting (?) look at its eyes and see if it is squinting them.
BUT if you forgot to tell us you just got him then he is calling out for mom and littermates..
GOOD LUCK

it's a CAT thing, like barking is a Dog thing, and speaking is a Human thing. naturally he dosen't like the water bottle. would you like to be sprayed in the face everytime you spoke?
