Does your furry meow especially at night? There are several reasons why a cat can "talk" when the family sleeps, and I will explain all of them below.
Discover why do cats meow at night and what you can do to stop them.
Zeal
Cats that have reached sexual maturity - between 4 and 6 months of age - will begin to meow especially at night. Why? Because being nocturnal animals, when the Sun sets it is when they are most active. Therefore, whether you have a cat or a whole cat, that is, not neutered, every six months there will be some days in which he will do everything possible to find a partner, starting by calling her.
What to do? In these cases the best thing is precisely to carry out castrate to the animal regardless of its gender (having offspring is a matter of two, so it will be useless to operate only one and less if we let them go abroad). This eliminates heat and consequently also the cat will stop meowing at night.
Do you feel lonely
At night we humans usually sleep. When we go to bed, the cat is a bit lonely. Normally nothing would happen, since he is indoors and in no danger, but there is someone who may feel bad when not being accompaniedespecially if you are older or aging.
What to do? In these cases I advise to take the animal and take him with us to the bedroom. You will appreciate it.
Wants to get our attention
If it is a slightly naughty cat or that has pain in some part of its body, we may hear it meow at night. For example, my cat Sasha loves steal socks, and it's something he does especially at night. As soon as he picks one up, he meows and until I'm going to see what he wants, he doesn't stop.
What to do? The most important thing is to know why he is meowing: it may be that, as in the case of Sasha, he is doing it simply because he wants you to come see him, but it may be that he feels pain in some part of his body. Depending on the cause, you will have to take some measures or others: in the first case, it would be better to hide those objects that can be "stolen" by the furry; in the second instead, he would have to be taken to the vet.
I hope it has been useful to you 🙂.
There are times when they meow at night it is because they want to relieve themselves, especially when they are indoors. If it is not removed, they will look for a place to make it. I even found out that it was because he was meowing I know what to do ...
