Wailing cat

[moosmom]

Given your cat's age, I'd say it's age related. But your first order of business is to take him to the vet to make sure there's nothing medically wrong with him, such as a urinary tract infection, ect. As cats get older, they tend to lose some of their hearing and sight. This can scare them. Try putting nightlights in spots where is sleeps, etc. It might help.

I don't think a younger kitten would be good at his age.
My Wilbur howls all the time, but he's always done that.
Have vet check "old man" for illnesses brought on by old age - after all, 15 is a pretty ripe age.
Poor guy is probably pissed at life being unfair - I know I'll be mad enough to scream when my age catches up with me!

First of all Welcome to Pet Talk & enjoy all the talks & pictures..
Second of all I have to agree with the others Do Have Your Baby Checked Out By The Vet to make sure all is ok due to his age.. Sure can see why a younger baby playmate would be good.. Good Luck & keep us posted..

Yes, as others have said, do make sure your kitty is okay and not in pain. My cat Beauty sometimes howls in the middle of the night when she has "caught" one of her toys and she wants attention and praise for her success. She will stand in the hall outside my son's bedroom door and howl for as long as it takes until someone speaks to her. But this doesn't sound like what is happening with your cat.
