Cats: Excessive Meowing

I have a little cat that meows all the time, too. In my case, I took her to the vet one day and all the way to him and back, she was terribly scared and meowed all the time. She had a cold, so the doctor recommended we keep her inside for a while. So we took her to our apartment (We live in a house with a lot of cats), because my mom wouldn't let me keep her in our house, and because he needed to be isolated from the other cats. But from that moment, she didn't stop meowing... day or night she did that all the time! At first I thought it was because she was alone, so I brought his sister with him... But that didn't solve the problem... He's still meowing, even when I'm with him. Well, actually he calms down a bit when I stay with him, but then he starts all over again. In my problem I don't see the reason, or maybe he remained shocked from that vet... but you should try taking your cat to a vet, maybe she is hurt and you don't know. Or maybe, as in my case, something scared him very much, and he remained shocked. Good Luck with this!

Our cat started this after my daughter's dog came for a visit last year, and it took forever for her to stop. It seemed that we never got a moment's peace because she was always crying. Sometimes she would even be meowing while being held and petted. This just is not like her at all. I think she was traumatized by having a dog in her house. She still has days when she seems to need a little extra attention, but not like before. I wish I could tell you how to help her to stop, but all I can suggest is extra attention. It has taken nearly a year for the constant crying to stop here, and I hope that you don't have to deal with the same.

I had one like that years ago. Cats hate water so I would have a spray bottle of water with you. Everytime she starts in spray her. She will get the hint that meowing brings water and soon if she does it you will only have to lift up the bottle and she will stop. You have to be consistant though so she knows why she is getting sprayed. I hope this helps and you can get some sleep.

I call my cat Cry Baby, because from the day I brought her home as an 8 week old kitten all she does is cry. She is now over two years old, and still cries all the time. When she is outside, she cries to come in, when she is in, she cries to go out, when she is hungry she cries. She drives me batty. When we drove from PA to N. Carolina, I had her in a carrier and she cried for hours on end. I know it was hard on her traveling that far, but I thought I was going to lose my mind. I also had two big dogs in the car with me and they were good as gold.

My cat meows continuously, and it appears she is not crying or asking for something. I even talk to her and she meows responses back...it's kind of comical. I've had her checked by a vet, and I was told she was part Siamese, and a characteristic of Siamese cats is they are very talkative. So that explains my case, could that be the solution to your problem? I don't think it's any differant than a jabbering two year old constantly speaking nonsense. I've just learned to live with it. You wouldn't punish a little kid for talking, so why a cat?
