Foul mouthed screaming kitty...HELP!

[QueSarah]

She enjoyed her cat nip, and the open window shutters. she enjoyed her dinner, a little wet food laced with kitty calm. She is only moderatly calmed down, which has allowed for Dodger to start crying over his baby, Sockie. Great.

It has been thunderstorming here the past few days, perhaps that's freaking them out.

Hmm, could be the thunderstorms, it's one possibility.

How old is she? And how long ago is it that she was spayed? Sometimes parts of the ovaries remain in the body, keep producing hormones and cause a heat-like state.

Another possibility could be that she may have problems with her sense of hearing. Please don't get me wrong, I don't say this to scare you, it's just something that should be ruled out, I think. It's a common thing in deaf cats that they cry loudly, because they cannot hear themselves, and can't control their voice.

But as Teirza is part Siamese, it could just be normal meezer behavior.

It might not hurt to have her checked out. I had a foster who had had a botched spay job where the uterus was removed, but not the ovaries. Poor Raven and all around her were miserable!

She's 4, and to my recollection she didn't flip out the past 3 years....but perhaps I've forgotten.

I thought about ear problems, and talked to my husband about if he noticed anything that would be a symptom of that....But she always comes when called and can hear the kitty treats container being moved from 3 rooms away. She hasn't been fussing with her ears either, as if she had an ear infection. Anyway, it's not really that she isn't usually loud, but even though she's chatty she usually is a litle more chill.

However, last year, Dodger (who can open doors by standing up and turning the knob) let himself out at our old apartment complex and went on an adventure, and Teirza would sit by the front door, nose pressed tot he crack of the door, and talk and talk about how he went out the door and then mom cried and everyone wondered where he went.

She's gone through times before where she gets more chatty than usual, but I don't see a link other than something happened she didn't like, like a member of her family being out of the house.

[QueSarah]

I give up. She's going to kill me with the screaming. My husband says he thinks she did it for a while last year, and then she cut it out, and he thinks she's in heat. But she's spayed! Took her there myself.

If she has a remaining bit of ovary, is this a huge problem? Is it something that won't be a problem past the obnoxious meowing? Or is it something that could cause her some horribly awful issue. My understanding is that even if a cat has this deal, they can't get pregnant but can go through heat.

It would be nice if Dodger would you know...take care of things, shut her up. But like a good little innocent fluff ball he's not interested in the least in doing the deed with his adopted sister, only in smacking her in the head a few times or annoying her and then wondering why I'm yelling at them both to shut up.

Maybe a vet checkup is in order....could be something else. Who knows? Even just give the vet a call.

Also, since you just moved - maybe a behaviourist, or a cat psychic?

Sounds like she REALLY misses something or is upset about it! Could it be as simple as more calming cuddles til she settles in?

It could be that she don't like the new house?

I'd DEFINITELY have her checked by the vet just to make sure there's nothing wrong. Meezers CAN be very vocal.
