A constantly screaming cat seriously complicates the life of its owner and his family members.

Why do some furry creatures behave this way?

It could be stress or health issues. It is possible that the cat intends to get the person to perform this or that action.

Or it could be that the cat is simply trying to “attract a soulmate.”

How can you stop your pet from screaming without knowing the exact reason for the screaming? You need to follow 5 simple steps.

Show the cat to the vet

First, you need to find out whether the constant screaming is connected with some kind of illness.

Perhaps the cat is simply in pain, that's why he's screaming.

It is possible that a specialist will identify the disease and prescribe treatment.

It may also be that the veterinarian will say that it is necessary to castrate/sterilize the animal.

Pay more attention to your pet

Perhaps the cat is yelling because of boredom or stress.

In this case, the owner should spend more time with his four-legged friend.

Let the animal feel needed and protected.

Increase your level of physical activity

Play with your cat more often, come up with active games for him, “give” him more toys.

Let the animal be more active during daylight hours. And then there will be no screams at night.

Give food at the same time

Ensure that your cat has the correct feeding schedule: feed your pet at the same time every day.

When the animal gets used to the schedule, it will stop screaming, demanding food. After all, the four-legged friend will know exactly when it will be fed.

Ignore the cat's whims

If all the above measures do not help, then it is possible that the screaming cat is simply trying to “control” you.

You shouldn't pay attention to the obvious whims of the purr.

As soon as the fluffy one understands that screaming “demands” are useless, he will become quieter.
