Common Causes of Cats Meowing at Night
One of the most regular complaints from cat owners, is of their
cat's loud 'crying' sound in the middle of the night. This behavior is
unfortunately very common and usual, particularly in older cats. Usually the
cat just wants attention and reassurance that her humans are still around and
she has not been left on her own. Cats often meow during the day as well, but
the night call can seem much louder and more demanding also distracting.
Older ones do not move as fast or as easily as they did when they
were younger, and sometimes, they find it easier to call for their owners,
rather than going to them. Older cats in general tend to depend more on their
humans not only for food and accommodation, but also for reassurance.
Younger ones or kitten may
also get into the habit of 'crying' in the middle of night, sometimes through
boredom, but often because they may be feeling anxious. This could be due to
changes in their environment, or perhaps if they've moved house.
Meowing can become a Habit in them!
Cats are highly intelligent creatures, and they can learn pretty
quickly what works for them and what doesn't. So as the cat owner will go to
check on the cat because he worries that his cat is in some form of distress,
this will soon become a habit for your little cat. The cat has now learned that
this form of behavior works and it will get her the attention she wants. By
getting up and checking on your cat we ourselves are unintentionally
reinforcing this kind of behavior.
If your cat become used to being fed at 6 in the morning, they will
demand to be fed at that time everyday .
These cats have made a
direct association of their human getting out of bed with being fed, and will
meow to their human(s) every morning to get up and feed them when they feel
hungry.This can be really boring for you and for your family.So try to solve this
problem.
