Very vocal cat
in Pets
I adopted a beautiful kitten who is now about 1 1/2 years old. She was spayed and chipped before leaving the humane society and also we had her front paws declawed about a month after we brought her home. She has always been a very affectionate and well-behaved cat. She has always used her litter box and has never destroyed anything. She has always "talked" to us and every night when I get my blanket out on the couch to watch tv, she knows that it's her time to come and snuggle. However, for the past 2-3 weeks, she has started some really odd behavior. She has been meowing in a way that she usually does when she looks for me or is calling for attention. She always slept through the night or atleast played out in the living room and we'd never hear a peep from her. For the past few weeks she'll sit on our window sill and cry and make really odd calling sounds. She'll do it during the day at the door if she wants out on our porch so we let her out, she's out for a little while and then calls that she wants back in. It's not constant but enough that it has gotten really annoying esp. when it's at 3-4 am! I've been googling when my co-worker suggested maybe she's in heat. But as I said before, she was spayed over a year ago and the vet commented on her last visit about her scar tissue that she has from it. She doesn't spray her urine or even get in the position with her rear end up in the air that I saw when I googled....she's just been meowing like crazy and I can't seem to figure it out. Her bowls are always stocked with food and water, we give her a little canned food at dinner time and her toys are in the same spot they've always been. Nothing has changed in our house so I just can't seem to figure this out so we can try and stop it atleast during the night. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could she really be experiencing some symptoms of being in heat??
Re: Very vocal cat
Take her to the vet and see if this is a physical problem (ie infections that could be painful) or if it's just behavioral. The vet should be able to give you some tips.
