Your cat is crying, meowing or even moaning as soon as you enter the room? And she's so loud that you're afraid that even your neighbors complain about it?
Some cats (by race or no obvious reason) just have a loud voice. Owners of siamese cats, for example, can tell a thing or two about that issue.
If you want to break your cat's crying habit you should try to understand first why she moans all the time.
Your cat is crying of Hunger
Cats who are hungry strike up a very individual song: She has a erected ears and is trying to catch your eyes all the time. She often already runs to the place where her (empty) feeding dish is waiting. As soon as the cat is fed she stops moaning and keeps quiet for the next hours.
This type is easy to get happy again. Just feed her. If your cat, however, is too fat anyway or frequently hungry you should offer alternative hobbies to eating. Cat nip, cat activity boards, share of kindness and affection or a new toy do the job.
A cat that's not bored also doesn't cry!
Your cat is in heat and therefore mewing
Especially toms in heat love to call very, very load and penetrate for potential takers. You can't change this situation immediately unfortunately. Just wait till your cat's out of heat and the ole lad again.
A cat crying on heat is more like a long and loud yowl that makes your bones shiver and wakes you up at night.
The only thing to keep your cat from holding your eyes open at night in the future is giving it a castration. The surgery has its pros and cons, but, believe us, there are more positive than negative aspects about it. Toms can get a castration for 50 to 80 Euro in Europe. Female cats are a little more expensive because the vet has to do a real surgery for them. Their price is around 150 Euro.
Your Cat cries for your Attention
Think about this: Have you been away from home a lot any time recently und left your cat all on its own? Cats do feel alone - Especially if they usually always have someone around.
A squalid cat mews with a slightly expecting tune, accentuated with purring and prowling around the legs.
A cat longing for attention can be easily satisfied by spending more time with her than before.
If your cat perpetual calls for your time or you just have not as much time as your cat would like you might want to think about getting another cat.
Your Cats mourns when she's in Pain
Most cats are calmer and "slower" when they are in agony. Some, on the other hand, cry out their pain into the world. That's a positive thing for us cat owners because that way we know when our cat's in pain and can call the vet sooner.
A cat in agony cries in a miserable and pitiful way. When she's suffering for a longer time her cries might be also feeble and low. The cat usually puts her ears back and either lies there or is in a crouched posture.
When your cats mourns like that, don't hesitate to see the vet!
...Or your Cat just likes Talking
Last but not least we like to remind you of some people that like to talk all day long - even if nobody is listening.
Some cat's aren't different. They mew, yowl and tell whole stories to you, because you are a person who's close to them. Cat's like that shouldn't annoy you, however, but amuse you. Speciman like that are rare and you should be glad that you are an open-minded cat's owner.
Cats like that need a lot of love and like you to talk back to them. They like it even more if they are allowed to answer you!
