    My cat Pigeon and I were separated for a while, she lived w/a friend, and when she came home, she paced the house and yowled like that for a while, a couple of days at best. Once she got used to being back at home, the yowling stopped. I would think, though, that if your cat was missing a companion, he would've yowled right from the start. You say that you call to him when he yowls but do you actually go to him, pick him up and check him over? When was the last time he was checked out at your vet's? I think maybe I'd feel better if I were you by taking him to my vet and having him thoroughly checked out. I will say, however, that my Siamese Coco Puff can be very vocal and he walks through the house sometimes vocalizing but certainly not for hours at a time. I also have a deaf cat, Creamsicle, who does that on occasion when she's looking for me and she's exceptionally loud because she can't hear herself. One last thought: are you sure that your kitty is male? Females will do that when they're in heat. I wish you well and hope to read that your kitty checked out just fine and that he just likes to hear his own voice. Prayers going up for your kitty and you.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Thanks,

    We had him checked over at the vets a couple of weeks ago and he is sound. The howling stared about three weeks after having him. He was next door to a cat at the cats home and when he came here there would have been cat smells everywhere from our old cat so could it be a companion problem?

    Sorry i seem like a complete novice on cats but i am only 14 so i dont really know whats wrong with him!

    Thanks for the great sig ellie!

    One of mine does the same thing. He sounds like he's lost his best friend. His best buddy left almost three years ago, so I don't think that's the cause. He will wander through the house crying every night. I've never figured it out. He certainly can't be lonely with 11 other cats in the house!

    It may not be another cat or dog he is missing; it could be his previous care takers he is missing..

    Yeah hes neutered. I am hoping its not his previous owners hes missing. Bobby was found when he was very young. probably only a couple of months old. He was found in the road stray with a paw injury. He hates any1 touching the paw. He was in the cats home for months and months. I was just thinking it might be a companion problem as he had loads of cats around him. oh and 1 more thing. He has got really friendly with another stray male cat that hangs around our house. Could it be him he is calling for? The other male calls for bobby sometimes. We would take this male in but he is scared of humans.

    Yes bobby can hear!
    Thanks for all your help. His howling really is quite strange.

    keep posting...

    Thanks for the great sig ellie!
