I. Cats meowing in the middle of the night is not necessarily in heat, it can also be other reasons

Yesterday a fan asked Meow: Why is my cat still meowing in the middle of the night even though my cat is neutered? I took a look at the time sent 2:30 a.m. and suddenly felt sorry for my poor fan, this is not raising cats, this is the cultivation of immortality ah.

There are many reasons for cats to scream in the middle of the night, not just in heat, especially for small male cats.

The first, of course, is the most common, and the highest frequency, is that the cats are in heat, to find a mate and scream, they will not only howl at the window and outside, and a higher than one, very much like the sound of a small baby crying.

The cats scream to call for a hundred miles of kittens to come mating, although you may not feel it, the smell of sex hormones secreted by the cats has long drifted throughout the community, are exposed from your window slits.

The second, some partners said to me, my family's cats are done with de-sexing, why are they still regularly to the window screaming miserably? There is no longer that function.

This situation is very normal, especially for small male cats, male cat de-sexing body androgen needs a period to gradually decline to normal levels, so as long as the estrus period, the cat will still have some symptoms of estrus, especially if you have a small female cat, the male cat smells the female cat in heat, this situation is even more.

There are also individual male cats that will unconsciously make unashamed and slutty actions for several months or even a year after de-sexing.

The third, this situation is more helpless, cats owl in the middle of the night, just because they are bored, they want to get your attention, do not want you to sleep, want you to get up and play with them.

Cats: What are you sleeping for? Get up and get high!

Even some cats will usually like to play with toys to the sleeping master, this situation is mostly seen in young cats, especially young cats that have just been raised, the longer the cat is raised, the more their biological clock will be like the master, the longer they sleep inside the middle of the night, and over time will do the master sleep, the cat also sleeps, the master wakes up, the cat is still sleeping.

The 4th kind may be the meowing starving in the middle of the night, so it will appear to meow and ask you for food.

This situation mostly occurs in homes that usually feed their cats at regular intervals. You need to consider whether the time between each meal and each meal is too long for the cat, and if this is the problem, you can let the cat have a full meal before going to sleep, and the cat will be much better when it barks in the middle of the night.

Type 5, have you recently moved to a new home? Cats are very weak to adapt to new environments, so if you want to move to a new home, you must be psychologically prepared, cats are likely to howl in the middle of the night because they are not familiar with the new home environment, this situation is generally manifested while patrolling, adapting to the new environment is particularly unsettling for cats, they need to re-examine the new environment, leaving their scent again, facing the new room that is empty and dark at night, meow They need to re-examine their new environment and leave their scent behind again.

This situation may occur for about a week, after a week the cat will slowly adapt to the new environment, but it is best that the pooper scooper can leave one or two things they are familiar with when moving, such as cat nests, toys, water bowls, etc.

Type 6, there may be something outside your window, see here don't be afraid first, it should not be the kind of thing you think, if your floor is not particularly high, some stray cats or birds may come running inside at night, even if the cats don't have heart problems, they will shout because of the small creatures appearing in the window, because they feel their turf is threatened.

The solution is very simple, pooper scoopers do not think blindly, and do not let the cat stay at the window at night, close the window and draw the curtains before going to bed.

Seventh, some cats are naturally more talkative, they love to scream, so there are cats born chatterboxes, such as Siamese cats belong to the breed that likes to scream twice, some orange cats also like to nag very much, so if these cats born chatterboxes scream at night, the situation may be more serious, but the solution strategy is not without, the pooper scooper may need to play with them more during the day to stop They sleep a lot during the day, depleting their energy and allowing them to sleep solidly at night until dawn.

No. 8, some diseases can also make cats bark in the middle of the night, especially older cats, they are likely to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, aging has an impact on the cat's brain, they will make the cat disoriented at night, the cat will forget where they are? To do what? So the symptom that it will yell in the middle of the night for no reason is very likely to happen.

In addition, because the cat is old, their hearing and vision will be reduced, at first, the cat will howl in the middle of the night because they can not see and feel terror and panic, but also because their hearing is reduced, they can not hear their voice instead will scream louder.

When cats suffer from thyroid disorders, they sometimes appear to be unusually excited, even in the middle of the night, and hyperthyroidism in cats is likely to cause heart disease, hypertension, and kidney disease, so if the cat screams for no reason, after ruling out all possibilities, you should check whether the cat If the cat is barking for no reason after all possibilities are ruled out, check if the cat has a thyroid disorder.

II.

When everyone in the house is trying to sleep, the meowing cat is louder than during the day because the house is quiet. If your cat meows a lot at night, you may want to know why and how to fix this annoyance.

They feel lively or lack stimulation
One reason cats meow at night is that they feel excited or lack stimulation. This is common in kittens, as domestic cats often have a lot of unleashed energy, especially if they don't have the opportunity to play with toys or interact with their pooper scooper during the day. Some adult cats may also meow at night out of boredom or loneliness.

The best way to solve this problem is to make sure your cat gets enough exercise before you go to bed. Spend half an hour playing with your kitten with an interactive toy or laser pointer. Or, you can play a game of hide-and-seek with it. Engaging in any activity that stimulates your cat's mind and body will help them settle better at night and reduce your chances of being woken up by a cat barking in the middle of the night.

They need comfort
If a cat is feeling insecure and needs comfort, it may start meowing in the middle of the night, calling out to its pooper scooper for comfort. Cats that have just moved into a new home may do this until they are familiar with everything.

Confusing behavior in cats

If a new pet has moved into their territory, or if they are left alone more often than before, they may also meow at night or after moving into their new home with their pooper scooper. More snuggles and more interactive time with your cat during the day can help ease their feelings of loneliness and insecurity at night.

They are getting older
As many cats get older, they need more attention. If they are not allowed to sleep in the same room as their pooper scooper, they may meow all night in the living room. Because they can't get or stay comfortable.

Putting a soft bed on the nightstand or allowing your cat to sleep with you will give them a sense of closeness with you and hopefully help them fall asleep instead of whining all night.

They develop health problems

As cats get older, they may develop kidney and thyroid problems, which may cause them to purr uncomfortably during the day and night. If your cat is talking more than usual, including throughout the night, it's best to schedule a veterinary appointment for an examination as soon as possible.


If your cat is in good health, then meowing at night may be due to other reasons.
