My cat is screaming all the time. Help

Oh, okay! Play time! Figure out what kind of games and or toys he likes - whether it is fetch games, batting around toys that make noise, "fishing pole" type toys - it may take some persistence and experimentation, but you should be able to find something! Then play, play, play before your bedtime, a worn out kitty is a quiet kitty! Have you tried taking him out for walks on a harness and leash? Any physical and mental exercise will help!

I'm pretty sure that the reason he screams is that he wants to go out. It's sad that the woman next door can't tolerate him, especially when she has a cat herself! It would be great if you could talk to her and sort it out - perhaps by agreeing to let them on shifts. That might work.

Other than that, Karen's suggestions sound the way to go. Good luck! .)

Giving him other things to do to enrich his environment should help, intense play sessions with wand type toys or a laser pointer if he likes them, a nice big cat tree, a window he can easily lay in.

I am so sorry! I have the exact same problem. There has gotta be someone out there with a solution, keep the faith. My cat Spicy screams non stop and has for 5 yrs. She's deaf but she is spoiled rotten. She needs nothing. Nothing at all. I thought I would go insane as well a few times too. There's gotta be someone out there that knows SUMTHIN'. Far as I can figure out old Spiceball is just very vocal and enjoys bellering I'm not much help eh? I've tried everything. She adopted us, lived here before we moved here and we love 'er. Apparently she just loves to scream at the top of her lungs......sigh. I'll take any advice I can get too

Oh ya, Spicy is in and out, the second the Spicemeister is out, wants back in.
