How to stop my cat from meowing!!!!?

Question

I have this 1yr old cat, She is spayed, happy healthy little thing. The problem is she won't stop meowing... Non stop, the only time she doesn't meow is when she is sleeping, which happens to be during the day. She is an indoor/outdoor cat, she even meows when she is outside. She always has plenty of food and water, and she always gets plenty of lovin. But she just won't stop meowing.... any suggestions?

she is 1 yr old spayed, she meows when she is out and when she is in. She meows when she is being pet. she meows when she is sitting on the couch. She has plenty of toys and treats... could she need another cat friend? we just pet her when she meows or add more food or let her out or let her in... I am not sure if she has any simese in her. She is pure white with absolutley no markings

Answer 1

Sounds like she may be a DSH with Siamese or another very vocal breed in her background. If she is not hungry and not in pain, she is simply speaking to you.

How do you respond to her when she meows? Animals react to both positive and negative reinforcement. You may unknowingly be reinforcing and encouraging her meows.

Yeah he may be hurt hungry or thirsty, If he is sitting by a door try letting him in if he is following you and meowing he might want attention. Try changing his food and water first. If he doesn't quit then, try opening the doors in the house. If he keeps meowing check him over. If he keeps meowing let him outside, if he doesn't want outside play a game with him. If that doesnt work clean out his litter box. If he's still meowing call the vet. Good luck.

I'm sure she's tired of hearing you talk, to! Is a cat's meowing really that annoying to you? And when was the last time this cat saw a vet? She may just be a vocal cat - some are. If you can't handle this then surrender her to a shelter so that someone can adopt her that won't complain about her being herself!

Answer 5

Simplest answer - you can't ;)
If there was a specific problem she was meowing about, then one could offer advice.
You've got a 'talking cat'. I've had a couple over the years - fortunately they were relatively low volume moggies.
Good luck, but I doubt if things will change - unless of course she isn't spayed. Then an operation might diminish her vocals considerably.

there is a device that stops dogs from barking -- A collar (I think) activated by sound, it gives the dogs a small zap every time he barks

Simple conditioned response

of course cats meow for different reasons than habitual barking dogs. I know this sounds a little extreme, but it really works for nervous barkers

Maybe it would work for a cat too

I'm definitely not an expert, talk to an an expert first

Answer 7

you can't stop it, she is just a talkative cat. I have one that will talk all night long..(I think he is secretly scared of the dark) I have to keep him out of my bedroom. He will get bored and then go play with the other cats, no, he does not constantly talk to them

Answer 8

i dont think you can stop this vocal behavior.she meows to go out to socialize ,she meows to come in to eat.she gets plenty of loving , maybe she could be ill.have you spoken to the vet.

Answer 9

maybe she wants to be free does she want to come in when you open the door or do you have to force her in.
OR you might want to take her to a vet there may be something with her it may be natrual

Hope this helps a little
