Why does my cat meow so loud and all the time?

Question

It's been happening for a little while its a female that is not neutered. shes almost a year if not a year or a little over. please answer this question. I need to find out whats wrong.

Answer 1

it sounds like she wants attention. my cat used to do that when she felt she hadn't been fed enough or if she wanted more cuddles. try to give her more attention. it can be the simple thing she is on heat and so meows a lot. it shouldn't worry you to much but if it does take her to the vet. but I'm sure she just wants more attention or more food.  

Answer 2

maybe it is lovesick and remebering his old catfriend

Answer 3

Definitely she is in heat.  Does she roll around on the floor on her back, wagging her tail a lot?  This is another sign she is in heat.

Answer 4

Cats... Wonderful creatures.

There are quite a few different meows they give. Some is distress. Very loud and heartbreaking meow.

Then there is the I want a lover meow. Very loud, usually near a window. If you touch them they go PHHHt. LOL. Mine bit me.

Hunger Meow is usually short meows.  But you can see the cat is looking for food.

Lonely... Well they will really look for your attention and meow quite loud.

I don't think something is wrong, but see if you can identify the meow.

Answer 5

Well first, off you can't neuter females - they don't have testicles.

Secondly, she's probably in heat.  Why haven't you gotten her fixed?  Get her to the vet and get it done ASAP.

Answer 6

she may be in pain or simply require attention.

sounds more like she's on heat

Answer 7

Nothings wrong, shes growin  up, let her be and meow

Answer 8

she could be in heat.

Answer 9

Some cats are naturally more talkative then other's and there nothing you can do to stop them.

Just give more pats, cuddles & attention and more toys.

This boy is a real sweetheart who loves a smooch. He will need a new home that he feels safe and secure in. He is confident, talkative and loves a cuddle. He is a bit cheeky and likes to play and curl up with other cats. He will need to be mainly indoors to protect his nose from skin cancer. Come meet this handsome boy today.

Heidi is a chatty, sweet natured girl who is missing her owner and the comfort of a loving home. She's needs a quiet home, where she is welcome to laze around indoors. Her beautiful ginger coat will need regular brushing. Are you looking for a loving new family member?

Don�t Blame the Breed

All cats vocalize to some degree, but the amount depends more on your cat and its social ways than breed, says Stefanie Schwartz, DVM, MSc, DACVB, author of the book Dr. Cookie's Guide to Living Happily Ever After with Your Cat. Dr. Schwartz, known as Dr. Cookie for her liberal distribution of treats to her patients, says that some breeds have gotten a bad rap for being noisier than others.

Dr. Schwartz says, "Siamese may be slightly more vocal than other cats, but I think the quality of their voices�the fact that they sound like a baby wailing�makes you much more aware of the sounds they make."

Cat Calls

According to Dr. Schwartz, kitty conversation falls into three main groups:

Open-mouth: Many open-mouth sounds are defensive or aggressive, including the growl, hiss, spit, yowl and shriek. The message is clear: Don't mess with me.

Open/closed-mouth: These sounds begin with an open mouth and end with a closed one. They include sexual calls and the meow, which may be short, long or silent. Meows can mean different things, but one�"Where's dinner?"�doesn't require a whole lot of interpretation. (Every cat will be happy with one of IAMS tasty and nutritious cat foods.)

Closed-mouth: These noises are more intimate, including the murmur, purr and chirp, often used in greetings and between a mother and her kittens.

We'll probably never understand all of a cat's vocabulary, but it's the fascinating complexity of it that makes cats so intriguing.
