Why Cats Meow and How to React to It in Different Situations: Expert Advice
What a domestic cat needs, sometimes even its owner cannot understand. An example is the so-called emotional meowing.
This happens when cats suddenly begin to either protest or be sad, meowing very loudly in an unusual tone.
Experts explained what this could be connected with and in what cases one should start to worry.
In general, the reasons can be different, but mostly it is hunger, stress or illness.
How to determine the cause
The most important thing is to understand that your pet has a reason for this behavior, so you shouldn’t throw slippers in response.
1. If a cat starts to howl after eating, then there is no need to guess.
Alternatively, your pet may require more food, perhaps you need to add fresh water to the bowl, or he may not like the food.
2. If it is stress, then the cat can start meowing at any time.
It won’t be possible to immediately figure out the reason, but you can calm the cat down, pick it up, give it some attention, or give it a toy.
If the situation is not uncommon, then it is worth going to the veterinarian so that he can prescribe sedatives.
In some cases, it will be necessary to adjust the animal's daily routine so that the pet adapts to the owner's schedule.
3. Health conditions can also be a reason.
This usually occurs during periods of hormonal surges if the male cat is not neutered and the female cat is not spayed.
Similarly, your pet may be hinting at hidden pain. Depending on the situation, you should consult a veterinarian.
