Bachelor cat keeps meowing at night
Why does a bachelor cat go into heat?
A bachelor cat may show signs of urinating randomly, anxiety, and loud meowing during its heat. Here are some ways for owners to alleviate these symptoms during their cat's heat:
- Distract the cat: For example, you can temporarily change its environment to divert its attention to adapting to the new surroundings.
- Feed the cat appropriate amounts of contraceptive powder, which may be effective.
- For those who don't want their cats to go into heat or breed, you can take the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization after its heat.
Why do bachelor cats meow loudly at night?
They don't meow loudly when they are alone, but when they encounter a female cat, they will emit loud meows while pursuing them. Additionally, some bachelor cats are more passive in terms of going into heat. If there are no female cats to trigger their heat with meows, they may not show obvious symptoms of heat. Once a bachelor cat starts going into heat, it may last for 6-10 days without a female cat around. However, if there are female cats present, the duration of the heat depends on the female cat. That is, if the bachelor cat cannot pursue the female cat, it will continue to go into heat and won't settle for just one female cat.
What are the symptoms of a bachelor cat going into heat?
When a bachelor cat is in heat, the most obvious symptom is spraying urine, loud meowing at night, and becoming anxious and restless. They will also do everything they can to leave home. During the heat, the cat will adopt a standing position, raise its tail, and spray urine on vertical objects. While spraying urine, the tail will shake, and the cat's reproductive system will be congested.
What to do when a bachelor cat goes into heat?
Find a good partner to satisfy the cat's physiological needs during its heat. If you don't want your cat to go into heat, it's better to get it sterilized before its first heat, as even after sterilization, the cat may still exhibit some heat-related behaviors. The best way to help your cat through its heat is to use a cat toy or ball to divert its attention, give it extra affection, and offer a variety of cat cans or wet food.
