Cat owners rarely pay attention to the meowing of their pets, because the “fluffy ones” regularly make such sounds.

However, if the cat starts meowing too often and loudly, then this is a reason to be wary.

Possible disease

If your cat keeps meowing, it may be trying to tell you it's not feeling well, experts say.

Serious problems like kidney disease will show symptoms like excessive meowing, but it could be something as simple as a cut paw.

If you are concerned about your cat's meowing, you should take it to the vet for an examination. This may allay your concerns and provide the cat with the necessary treatment if necessary.

Alone

If a cat is looking for attention or just feels lonely, she will let you know by meowing loudly.

The pet will try to start a game or get the owner to pet it, meowing frequently. If you want to stop your cat meowing, try ignoring it when it gets loud. When the pet calms down, reward it with attention, but stop as soon as it starts meowing again.

Experiencing stress

Cats may also meow more when they are experiencing some form of stress.

If something changes in their life, whether it's a move or a new pet, it can cause stress in your cat, which can manifest itself in frequent meowing. Find out what's causing the stress and ask your vet for advice on how to relax your pet.

To start, give your cat a little extra attention.

Wants to eat

The most obvious reason for loud and frequent meowing is that the cat is hungry. Some cats know when it is time to eat, so they will meow constantly until they are fed.

If you think this might be the cause of the meowing, try not to feed her while she is making noise. Once she is calm, give her a treat or food. If you are persistent, you can train your cat to be quiet when it is time to feed.

Breed

Some cat breeds are known for their frequent and loud meowing.

For example, Siamese cats have a very distinctive meow, which is often mistaken for the cry of a human child. Cats of this breed can constantly talk to their owners, so the pet's incessant meowing may be embedded in their DNA.
