  • Cats meow for a variety of reasons. For food, for attention, to signify that they don’t like something, such as being picked up… but when your cat starts meowing at night, this can raise some alarm bells, especially when they keep you awake!
    Today, Dr Richard Thomas from Cairns Vet Clinic explains why cats meow at night and how to stop this annoying habit.

    I’m pretty sure my cat hates being left alone. He meows any time I’m out of sight. Using the bathroom? Meows. Sleeping? Meows. Doing online school stuff? Meows.

      My 7month old male cat (neutered) is doing the same thing but for 3 hours straight every night. I have no clue what to do because he’s calm and collected all day long and active indoors but around 1am he goes crazy and meows and claws at doors, windows, and stares at my mirror for some reason.

    Cat ancestors were most active at dawn and dusk since those were prime hunting hours. Our domestic cats have kept this instinct and will often get zoomies, vocalize often, and play during these hours.

    My cat just meows so loudlt when he eneters a room, he's probably announcing his presence, but sometimes at night he would meow loudly at the ceiling or the wall and it gives me a sense that he's looking for something or is calling for something, idk what he wants.

    My cats turned 6 months recently but Im not sure if theyve gone into heat. One of them is way more fussy about getting out of my room and meowing between 1AM and 4AM. Its a very loud trill and turns into loud meow. This happens a bit during the day now too.
    Then, when I wake up she runs to my hand or meows normally.
    Could she just be trying to socialize out of boredom or be in heat? Im not sure its heat because the night howling is the only new behavior.

    Their cats, it’s just what they do. Cats are most active at night. Mine does it. Usually he’s looking for his sister or wants to get my attention. His sister doesn’t do it. She trills in a questioning manner. Like she’s literally asking me a question! 😂
