PT I Really Need Your Help!

[Kalei]

Alot of you know my siamese cat Bobo whom I post pictures of here and there. Well he has had a snotting problem all his life in which we can not fix no matter. And my Dad hates Bobo and says it all the time and would have him put down any day if it weren't for me.

Anyways the snotting is not the issue now. Now he is doing nothing but meowing every single night. During the whole night I can't sleep and my parents can't sleep because he just constantly meows, and he's a siamese, so its not just a meow, its a loud yell that could wake up the neighbours. I don't understand why he's doing this. And my dad is just wanting to kill him even more.

He has usually always slept with me the entire night, but now he will come and lay with me for 5 mins and then get up again and meow at my door to let him out. So I'll let him out and go back to bed, and then in 5 mins he's back at my door meowing to be let back in, and its a continuous process. It's making me and my parents get lack of sleep and I want to stop it somehow.

Bobo is 15 years old, but he still looks 9 and he is like my soulmate. If any of you have any suggestions at all, they would be so greatly appreciated. The only thing I can think of, is I could try moving his litter into my room, see if it helps. I just have no idea why he is behaving like this at night.

Thanks to anyone who reads this

I wonder if he is getting a urinary infection - feels like he has to "go" a lot?

Has he had a vet checkup lately?

I don't remember if you have tried this - but there is an antibiotic called zithromax that is supposed to be really good for 'snotty' kitties. Clavamox works well also(it is supposedly anti-viral).

Maybe just a very small dose of antihistamine would help Bobo. Time for a vet checkup here, just my opinion.

Bless his little heart - at 15 he is bound to have a few problems. Get him checked out if you can to make sure there is no medical reason then give your dad a huge kick in the pants from me!

It could be that Bobo's hearing an eyesight are impaired, seeing that he's 15. Try putting nightlights up. I would also have him checked out by a vet just in case there is something else medical going on.

Hey Thanks everyone for the help, now that you mention, I also think a vet check is in order. The only problem is that I wouldn't be able to for another 1 and a half weeks because of my payday But I will do whatever I can for him.

And I've never heard of those antibiotics you mentioned Catty 1, where can I get them? I would definately try them if I could get them

Sadly I don't think nightlights would be the problem, we always have a kitchen light on all night, so everyone can see when they need to go to the bathroom. I have this feeling that it could possibly urinary infection, because something is definately keeping him frisky and awake all night, he just can't seem to settle down.

He seems to want to settle down, but then again he doesn't, he tries for five minutes and then gets back up and then comes back and so on.

Any more advice can keep coming, I'm open to anything to help my Bobo, but all your advice so far is great, I'm going to have to schedule him a check up.

OKay, good news! I scheduled a vet check for him. He is going in next Saturday, May 12 to get a check up. I described it to the vet as well and she also said that it sounds like a urinary infection. So tonight I am putting the litter into my room and I'm going to watch him and see if he is always going to the litter when he gets up.

I hope they don't tell me he should be put down just because he's 15

Today is his 15th birthday and we are going to celebrate it tonight
