Why is my cat meowing constantly?

Constant meowing in cats can be caused by various reasons such as hunger, fright, heat, excessive stress, separation anxiety, functional indigestion, dementia, etc. If the cat is just meowing constantly without showing any other signs of discomfort, it is a normal phenomenon and the owner does not need to worry too much. If the cat is meowing constantly abnormally, it indicates that the body is suffering from a disease, which will also affect the normal development of the body. It is recommended that the owner timely take the cat to a regular hospital for treatment, otherwise it will easily affect the health of the cat.

Hunger

If the cat feels hungry, it will express its hunger through meowing and constantly ask for food. This is a normal phenomenon. The owner should feed the cat in time. Once the cat is full, the unwanted reactions will gradually disappear, and there is usually no need for medication.

Fright

If the cat is scared, it will feel fearful of its surroundings and become overly tense, resulting in constant meowing. Giving the cat more security, such as touching and playing with it, can divert its attention and improve the symptoms.

Heat

If the cat is in heat and its physical needs are not met, it will constantly meow. This is a normal phenomenon. It can be improved by allowing the cat to mate. The constant meowing will stop gradually once the cat's needs are met.

Excessive Stress

If the cat is under too much stress, it will become irritable and express its suffering through meowing. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The owner needs to comfort the cat.

Separation Anxiety

If the cat is deeply dependent on its owner or fellow cats, it will feel anxious when they are separated and accompanied by screams. The owner needs to comfort the cat.

Functional Indigestion

Usually caused by long-term overeating, it increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, affects normal digestion, and causes symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and post-meal fullness. If not improved in time, the cat will express it through constant meowing. The cat needs to take digestive medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

Dementia

If the cat is older, it may have dementia, which causes weakness in the brain and autonomic nerves, resulting in abnormal behaviors such as loud meowing and chaotic urination and defecation. The cat needs to follow the doctor's advice and take antioxidants and antidepressant medication.

In daily life, the owner needs to observe the cat's condition at any time. If the cat's discomfort worsens, seek medical attention promptly, otherwise it will easily affect the recovery.
