Why is my cat crying so much lately?

my cat’s been meowing way more than usual and sometimes it sounds like a full-on scream lol. it’s kinda random, like sometimes near meal time but other times at the door or just in the middle of the night. idk if she’s just being dramatic or if something’s actually wrong. anyone else dealing with a super vocal kitty? :cat:

could be hunger or boredom tbh. mine does the same right before dinner every day like clockwork :joy:

same here lol. i had to put her on a feeding schedule to stop the all-day begging. helps a bit but she still cries when it’s close to meal time.

what kinda schedule are you using? like 2 meals a day or more?

i do morning and evening, like 8am and 6pm. keeps her sorta chill in between.

could be she just wants attention… my cat does the same when i’ve been ignoring her :sweat_smile: sometimes just 10 mins of playing or petting chills her out.

ah yeah that makes sense… i’ve been kinda busy lately. i’ll try giving her more playtime and see if that helps.

does she go outside? sometimes indoor/outdoor cats cry at the door when they wanna head out or come back in.

100% recommend a cat door if it’s safe where you live. made my life way easier.

some cats are just talkers :speaking_head: my siamese talks ALL the time. nothing’s wrong, she just likes to chat lmao

just means they meow a lot even if nothing’s wrong. some breeds are more vocal by nature like siamese or bengals.

lol i made the mistake of talking back and now she won’t stop :joy:

if she’s crying randomly and sounds stressed, might be worth checking with the vet. could be a medical thing like hyperthyroid or something

good point. i’ll keep an eye on her and take her in if it keeps up. didn’t even think about health stuff tbh.

fyi if she’s not spayed she might be in heat… they get super loud during that time

ohhh i didn’t think of that :flushed: she’s not fixed yet so maybe that’s it…

def sounds like that. getting her spayed should calm things down a lot.
