Last Year in the fall her brother who was an outdoor cat passed on after being badly injured by another animal probally the little pomerainian down the street. Also she has had 2 litters of Kittens with the same cat because she is an indoor cat and she had a mate. 1 litter we didn't even know about until probally a week after it was born because it was a single kitten. Her sencond litter was last summer and she had about 5 kittens and 2 died and then the runt died a little later. Then we had 2 kittens but then she tried to move them behind my Mom's dresser and whe she dropped them she accidently broke their neck and they died. Poor Bear (My cat)

Answer 1

Vocalizing is one way for your cat to communicate with you and with other animals. Some cats "talk" more than others, but most cats do make noise some of the time. We're all familiar with the meaning of hissing and growling, but there are also many other sounds that your cat is capable of, and a variety of reasons for vocalizing.

Medical Reasons
If your cat's behavior changes suddenly, the first thing you should do is take her to your veterinarian for a thorough health examination. Cats often hide symptoms of illness until they're seriously ill. Any change in behavior may be an early indication of a medical problem. A new vocalizing behavior, in particular, may indicate physical discomfort stemming from an urgent need for medical attention.

Breed Tendency
Oriental breeds, such as the Siamese, are known to be very vocal. If your cat has a pointed face and a long, lean body, chances are she has some oriental heritage, so "talking" may be a part of her character. Avoid giving her any attention when she is vocal because this will only encourage the vocal behavior. Instead, give her attention when she is quiet.

Attention-Seeking Behavior
Some cats "talk" because they know they'll get a reaction. People may talk back, feed her, yell at her, pick her up and lock her in another room, or pick her up and soothe her. All of these responses will encourage an attention-seeking cat. To discourage this behavior, simply ignore your cat when she does this, and when she is quiet, pour on the love, feed her or give her some treats. This will teach your cat which behaviors you would like her to continue.

Your Cat Wants To Go Outside
If your cat was previously an outdoor cat and you plan to keep her inside, then good for you! Following are some suggestions to help make the transition easier on both of you.

Spay or Neuter: Spaying or neutering will rid your cat of those hormonal urges to go out and seek a mate. This will result in a calmer, friendlier cat.
Play Schedule: Schedule play times during the times your cat would normally be outside. This will distract her from her normal routine and establish another, safer routine.
Window Seat: Be sure your cat has a view of the outdoors and a sunny place to lie. Cats like to watch birds, so putting a bird feeder outside this window is likely to make it a favorite spot for your cat.
Scavenger Hunt: Give your cat a game to play by hiding bits of dry food around the house. Hide the food in paper bags, boxes and behind open doors. This will give her exercise and keep her busy so she doesn't think of going outside. This is especially good to do right before the family leaves the house for the day.
Attention: Try to give your cat extra love and attention during this difficult transition.
Aversives: If your cat still won't give up meowing by the door, try an aversive. Leave strong citrus scents by the door or hide behind a wall and shake a pop can filled with coins to interrupt the behavior. When she is quiet, walk out and give her a food treat and encourage her to play or cuddle.
Grief
Sometimes after the death or departure of a person or animal in your cat's life, she will vocalize to express her grief. This can be a normal part of the grieving process. The best thing you can do for her is keep her schedule the same (or as close as possible) and spend some extra cuddle and playtime with her. With time, this problem should take care of itself.

Transition
If your cat is new to your home or has just gone through a change (move, new person/animal in the household, person moved out)and has just started her talkative behavior, be patient. This may be happening due to the transition and will stop on its own if the behavior is not encouraged. Remember, even scolding can be perceived by your cat as attention, and thus encourage the behavior.

Answer 2

This could be because of a numerous amount of things from feeling neglected and wanting your attention to her being in pain and not feeling good. Some cats are very very very social and will let you know when they aren't happy. My moms cat is like this. He tattles on the other animals in the house if he feels like they are doing something wrong. He usually doesn't stop until we find out why he's whining. If this is the way your cat is you might have to give her her own room away from the pups and you'll have to give her a bit more attention then normal.

However, this can be a sign of pain. Cats can cry and meow because that is their way of communicating to you that there is something wrong and they don't feel good. Have the pups been rough housing with her at all?? Could she have an injury like a pulled muscle or sprain??

If this is your cats natural personality then she is probably just protesting. But if this isn't your cats personality and she has had a major change in moods over night then you need to speak with a vet and get their opinion on whats going on. Good luck

Answer 3

I don't know why she is meowing, but I can tell you one thing -

GET YOUR BEAR SPAYED. 2 litters from the same cat is intolerable. Do you have any idea of the overpopulation of cats and how many are killed DAILY? Nearly 4-8 MILLION pets are gassed yearly because they are unwanted.

Please be a responsible pet owner and get her spayed.

Answer 4

I believe your cat is not use to the idea that someone else is evading its territory, though you're only puppy sitting. Plus, cats and dogs normal don't get along - could be the reason.
But, if you cat can't adapt for the few weeks of puppy sitting maybe put them in separate rooms.

Answer 5

I would call the vet and ask. I'd also give her lots of love. I belong to this site, as I have 2 cats:

And there are people there who are SO helpful. Many of them know tons about cats.
You would have to join, but it is free, and it is well worth it.

Good luck! Kiss your kitty for me.
