Cat Odd Behavior
My cat’s odd behavior?
For the last few months, my fiance and I have been moving around and living with other people. Before that we had our own home and she loved it. Now we have a new apartment, we had to unfortunately give away two dogs to other homes, and she is the only cat. We have two black lab mixes who she has no issues with. She has never done this before, but she meows quite often. The first night we were here she meowed through the night and kept me up. The second night she was a little better but still meowed more than normal. My cat is a laid back, loving, sleepy cat. She has never meowed other than to tell me she needs food/water or to yell at me for leaving for work. I can’t figure out what she wants when she meows. I do not let her outside, she always has clean litter and her food and water bowls are always clean and filled. Also, she is quite spoiled, I give her attention quite often. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
She probably just needs a bit of time to settle in and may be meowing because she is not sure where the dogs are (and you, if you don’t let her in your bedroom) and is calling for you and the dogs.
Give her a bit of time, and make sure she can explore the whole apartment so she can figure out where you are when you go to bed and realise the dogs are not about.
If she is an older cat this can also happen, it is thought of as a sign of going a little senile – but as you just moved she probably just needs a bit of time to adjust.
