Adopted Cat: Night time meowing

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.

Cats often meow during the day as well, but the night call can seem much louder and more demanding also distracting.

How to Make Your Cat Stop Attacking You?

1  Discipline the cat. 

You need to let him know not to do that.

• One of the most effective ways to discipline a cat is a clean water spray. Squirting the cat in the face or body will stop most cats. They don't like it usually. Once in a while a cat enjoys it and thinks of it as a game. If so, use the spritzer as a distraction.

Be sure to stock the box with plenty of other toys to maximize your cat's home-alone playtime. This is a toy that cats will not grow tired of.

How to Integrate Cats

Integrating  new cats can be a challenge for your family. 

Cats are territorial, and don’t take well to unknown cats suddenly appearing in their territory and area. The inclination of most cats is to attack a new cat to try to make it go away, or to run away from it in fear. Some of them act badly.

Grooming your cat

It smooths down the fur to insulate the body more efficiently, and stimulates the glands at the base of the hairs which waterproof the coat of your healthy cat. In hot weather, licking spreads saliva that cools your cat as it evaporates; grooming also spreads sebum natural oil that protects and waterproofs the hair and skin) across the coat.

Trimming a Cat's Claws

1. Stay on the cutting edge

There are plenty of tools available to trim a little cat's and normal cat’s  claws; use the one that works best for you and your healthy cat.

Some people prefer a special pair of scissors modified to hold a cat's claw in place, others prefer human nail clippers and tools, and still others choose pliers-like clippers or those with a sliding "guillotine" blade. Whatever your tool of choice, be sure the blade remains sharp; the blunt pressure from dull blades may hurt an animal and cause a nail to split or bleed. Keep something to stop bleeding, such as styptic powder, cornstarch, or a dry bar of soap near you.
