What's going on when a cat keeps meowing non-stop?

There are many reasons why a cat keeps meowing non-stop, and it's necessary to consider the cat's actual situation to make a judgment about the cause of the meowing. First, if a cat that has just been brought home starts meowing constantly, it could be due to unfamiliarity with the environment, causing stress and fear. Secondly, cats in heat will also meow continuously as a mating behavior. In addition, if a cat's normal physiological needs are not met, it may also meow constantly, such as being unable to find a place to urinate or defecate, hunger, or wanting to drink water. Finally, it could also be caused by discomfort in the cat's body.

1. Cats newly brought home

If a cat has just been brought home, it may meow constantly due to the unfamiliar environment and resulting anxiety and fear. What needs to be done at this point is to alleviate the cat's fear. Consider spraying some cat pheromones around the house to make it feel safer. Also, spend more time comforting the cat, playing with it, and giving it delicious treats to gain its trust. Hold it and stroke its head to reassure it. Prepare a dark, secure spot in the house where the cat can hide, which will help it gradually adapt to the new environment and stop meowing.

1. Cats in heat

Cats in heat will exhibit constant meowing, rubbing against things, and extreme restlessness. If the cat is male, the owner can find a female cat for it to satisfy its physiological needs during heat. If the cat is female, it is recommended to find a companion cat for it during the second heat, as the female cat's body is mature and capable of pregnancy and childbirth. If you don't like the constant meowing, you can have the cat spayed or neutered at a pet hospital before it goes into heat.

1. Unmet physiological needs

When a cat feels hungry, cold, or bored, it will meow constantly to attract its owner's attention, usually in a gentle voice. At this point, the owner needs to feed the cat regularly and in moderation, while also ensuring warmth to prevent the cat from catching a cold. Spend more time accompanying the cat to alleviate its boredom. By preparing in advance and meeting the cat's needs promptly, it will stop meowing.

1. Physical discomfort

When a cat is sick and experiences pain, discomfort, or distress, it will also meow to inform the owner, usually in a suffering voice. In this case, pay attention to whether the cat has any abnormal symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. If these symptoms are observed, the owner should take the cat to the pet hospital as soon as possible for inspection and treatment.
