Meowing, lots to say or a problem??

**Queen of Poop** · 01-09-2010, 06:21 AM

You all know that I left my husband the middle of October, big changes for the cats and I. About the middle of December Diego (my boy cat) started meowing alot. He sits on the tub and meows, on the counter and meows, on top of the fridge and meows, on the back of the couch and meows, in the window and meows, on the floor and meows. He does this randomly and whenever he wants. Even in the middle of the night. Does he just have alot to say or does he have anxiety? We saw the vet last night and both kitties checked out healthy. I just don't know what's up with all this cat chatter. Any ideas?

Gayle,

You KNOW cats don't like change. I would take him to the vet just to rule out any underlying problem.

Good luck on your new life, girl.

...any chance of a hearing loss? It doesn't have to be complete, just possibly a slight change in hearing could cause that.

We saw the vet last night to rule out any health issues. He's perfectly healthy. I was thinking he was stressed because of all the change. Maybe he's missing Sasha too. So much has happened in the last couple of months.

And sometimes a Cat will MEEEEOOOOW just because hes got to MEEEEOOOW!!

If Sasha and Diego were close , he might be looking for her, hoping that the sound of his MEEEOOOW will bring her out so hey can play together again.

I know that the Found Ctas dont Meeeoooww unless they want food, but Juke Joint Joseph cried a lot after Handsome John Hancock became An Awesome Angel, as he missed his Balinese Buddy so much

We are praying that Diego adjusts soon.
Maybe a New Kitten for Diego to bond with!!

This is probably closer to the truth, although the hearing loss did stand out for me. When Coco Puff suddenly went deaf, that's what he did for a while. He regained most of his hearing, though. Is Diego louder than usual or just more vocal?

How old is Diego? I'm asking because Fister has started meowing a lot, and the experts say that older cats meow more. It's certainly true in Fister's case. All I have to do is cuddle with him for about 15 min. and he settles down.

Of course, it could also be all the stress and changes going on in his life.

Diego turned 2 on September 1, 2009.

Just more vocal. He was never much of a talker, Cali was the chatty catty. Although, since I've posted this today he's been completely quiet. I don't get it.
