Solutions to get you to stop meowing
Depending on the reason you're meowing, we must follow one solution or another. In this article we will give you the 5 most common solutions for these problems:
- Spay or neuter your cat. Cats tend to meow to attract other cats, while cats do it to respond to them or to tell their owners "let me out". If your cat or cat is constantly meowing because she wants to go outside and can hear that there are other cats in her area making the same noise, neutering or neutering her may be the solution.
- clean your litter box more often. Cats are very clean and don't like their litter box to be dirty. In fact, they won't even use it if it's a little dirty because they don't like to do their laundry on stained sand. It could be that the reason for your meowing is because the box is dirty, although it doesn't look like it. To avoid this problem, clean the box every night and check it a few times a day to see if it's clean.
- Amuse him and tire him out with games. Sometimes we believe that cats don't need to play because they're not dogs, but that's not how it is. Little cats need to exercise, get tired and have fun to be happy. If they meow a lot and get close to their toys, it could mean that what they want is for us to play with them. Buy him toys that challenge his intelligence, play with him a lot every day and, in this way, you'll be able to tire him out and make him not meow so much. He might also consider adopting a friend for him at an animal care center.
- Leave him food and water at a fixed time.. Routine is essential for your cat to get used to eating at a certain time. If you don't, your cat may want to eat at 9 am, 7 pm, or 4 am. Set a time and always leave water and some food at night, this way you will avoid meowing to wake us up and ask for food.
- If it persists, take it to the veterinarian. If your cat meows too loudly it could be suffering from some health problem. When it is repetitive, meowing a lot and the intensity and volume of the meowing is not normal, you should take it to your veterinarian.
