How to Stop a Cat from Meowing Loudly: 5 Steps
06.08.2024 08:59
Loud meowing can be caused by a variety of reasons.
In some cases, a cat makes such sounds because of stress, in others - because of boredom.
A fluffy cat may meow loudly because of pain or in order to “find a mate.”
However, it is possible that a meowing pet is simply trying to attract the owner’s attention and “force” him to perform one action or another.
A person who wants to wean his four-legged friend from loud meowing must follow several steps.
Take the animal to the veterinary clinic
The first thing the owner should do is make sure that the animal is not making loud noises due to health problems.
To do this, the cat needs to be shown to a veterinarian.
Perhaps the specialist will find some "diseases" in the pet and prescribe treatment. It is possible that a decision will be made to castrate/sterilize the animal.
Pay more attention to the cat
Is your pet healthy? Then try to "communicate" with it more often, pet it, calm it down in stressful situations for the animal.
The fact is that loud meowing can be caused by boredom or fear, as well as the cat’s desire to interact with its owner more often.
Increase physical activity
In addition, it makes sense to come up with active games for the cat. Let the animal move more.
You may have to buy a few toys or make some “attractions” out of shelves, strings, or boxes.
A pet that has the opportunity to release accumulated energy is unlikely to be bored and meow loudly.
Feed correctly
Give your cat food on a schedule. The pet will quickly get used to eating "on the clock" and will stop constantly demanding food.
Additionally, treats can be used as a reward for good behavior.
Ignore obvious whims
The cat continues to meow loudly despite all the measures taken? The animal is clearly being capricious.
Just ignore the sounds your pet makes, get rid of the habit of immediately running up to your four-legged friend. And then the cat will understand the pointlessness of trying to attract attention by meowing.
