What's the matter with a cat meowing in the middle of the night?

The middle-of-the-night meowing of a cat may be caused by hunger, fighting, mating, or illness. First of all, if the middle-of-the-night meowing is caused by hunger, fighting, or mating, it is a normal physiological phenomenon, and owners generally do not need to worry too much. Secondly, if the cat's abnormal middle-of-the-night meowing is accompanied by other physical symptoms, such as physical pain or anxious emotions, it indicates that the cat may have other diseases. It is recommended that the owner timely take the cat to a regular veterinary hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause, and then carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, which is beneficial to the improvement of the cat's discomfort.

  1. Hunger

If the cat doesn't eat enough before going to bed at night, it may become hungry and meow randomly in the middle of the night. The owner should feed the cat in time. Once the cat is full, the hunger will be relieved, and the meowing usually stops. There is generally no need for medication treatment.

  1. Fighting

If the cat fights in the middle of the night, it may cause physical pain due to skin damage, and the cat will express its situation through meowing. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The owner needs to constantly observe the cat's physical condition. If the cat shows signs of discomfort, the owner should take the cat to a regular veterinary hospital for treatment promptly, otherwise it may affect the cat's health.

  1. Mating

During the mating period, cats express their emotions through meowing because mating may cause physical discomfort. It is recommended that the owner provide a mate for the cat, which can alleviate the screaming caused by mating. As the physical discomfort improves, the screaming will gradually subside.

  1. Illness

When a cat meows non-stop in the middle of the night, it may be due to a disease in some parts of the body. The owner should take the cat to a pet hospital for inspection and then further treat according to the inspection results.
