Most people believe that cats only perform night concerts in March and for one reason.
But in fact, there are many reasons for this in an animal. It could be illness, stress and anxiety, instincts and hormonal surges.
Let's figure out what's happening to your pet and how to calm down your wandering four-legged friends.
Reasons for behavior
1. If this is a hormonal surge, then sterilization or castration can help cope with this phenomenon. There are more humane methods, but then another question will have to be solved: where to put the offspring?
2. If the cat is already old, then surgical intervention can be fatal. In this case, it would not hurt to contact a veterinarian, since the cause of nighttime screams can be a latent disease (for example, abdominal pain, in cats it can be urolithiasis, etc.).
3. Parasites can also disturb the peace. It is possible that anthelmintic drugs can help.
4. Perhaps the owner did not calculate the amount of provisions for dinner and the pet simply remained hungry. In this way, the animal can express its decisive protest.
5. Cats and male cats can scream at night due to anxiety. But if earthquakes are not provided for by nature itself in your region, then most likely bad weather or frosts are approaching.
And the last thing that can prompt a four-legged friend to perform a midnight aria is instinct, longing, or a fight for territory when moving.
What to do
The most appropriate thing to do is to take your pet into your home and be patient with such weaknesses.
If the nighttime screaming has become systemic and persuasion does not help, then you can contact specialists. They will examine the cat and prescribe a sedative.
And, of course, folk remedies are still useful. You can resolve the conflict with a spray bottle of water. The cat will have something to do for a while, licking its wet fur, and then, maybe, it will go to sleep.
