Yowling?
What does yowling mean?
Shmogg is 15 give or take a few years. Recently, he's taken up the fine art of yowling, usually within an hour of being fed - sometimes its just a few minutes, sometimes an hour, but always happens after gooshyfood. He ywols every single night after his dinner, and sometimes in the morning too. I've never heard him yowl at any other time. As far as I remember, he didn't yowl before IBKFergus came to stay He'll stop yowling is I yell out to him and say something like "you're a cat, you're grey" or something like that, and doesn't yowl again until the next load of food arrives. Any ideas? He's otherwise a fit and healthy 15 year old who can still beat up a hollikitten and win, so I don't think its just old age catching up with him. Ideas? Yowie |

Yowie I remember seeing this subject before, and there is a medical explanation for it, so he needs to see TED asap. I'm sorry I can't recall what the exact reason is, but he definitely needs the vet IIRC. It's a symptom of something I wish I could remember, sorry. Tweed |

It can mean a lot of things. Often cats who are having thyroid trouble yowl.
Schmogg is the right age. He should probably get a geriatric panel done when you can. "Yowie" wrote in message ... What does yowling mean? Shmogg is 15 give or take a few years.

in the last 2 years of my recently departed precious she howled like
another cat got ahold of her The reason for it she did not know where we were. You go over and tap of her on the head to let you know you were there she stop and not do it again till she lost sight of one of us or the other furballs. She was going deaf according to the vet Is the furball doing it in a certain spot in the house or at a certain object. You said a certain time before food have you been late feeding them or stopped giving them attention at a certain time like if you job schedule changed and they were used to you not being home till 7pm etc "mlbriggs" wrote in message news On Wed, 30 Nov 2005 07:43:06 +1100, Yowie wrote: What does yowling mean?

Yowie Does he walk around while he's doing it? Stinky has always done this, especially in the summertime, but also occasionally in the winter. For Stinky, it's usually when he gets a snootful of outdoor air, and suddenly decides to take on all the possible and putative cats that might be lurking around his territory.

Yowie I don't want to alarm you as it may be something entirely different, but that's what Percy started doing. We didn't know what it was and didn't take him to the vet soon enough and he died of kidney failure. Of course it may be something as simple as he's getting a bit deaf in his old age.

Yowie Izzi used to do this, when she got older. I honestly think it's a form of cat dementia, and Fergus's arrival is just coincidental. The fact that he shuts up when you speak to him ties in with how Izzi reacted, it was as if she was lost, and needed some reassurance that I was around. Actually, Cav does it now, and has always done it. It's his way of saying 'Where the hell is everyone?'. As soon as I call out and he knows where I am, he shuts up. Love Jeanette |

He prefers to start at 4:30 AM... Until then, he and his mother, Tinùviel, have been sleeping on top of me in bed, but I guess he wakes up and thinks it's time for some action. He goes into the bathroom (I think he likes the sound of his own voice in ther), shouting: "Come on, you guys, it's morning!" I call for him "Teti, we're here!" When he realize that we are not coming after him, he comes back, jumps up in the bed and starts a fight with Tinùviel. She jumps down on the floor, very irritated, and then they run around for a little while until Tinùviel has had enough and comes back to bed. After that, Teti gives in and comes back, too. Satisfied, he got the attention he wanted... And then we sleep until 9... :-) Hans |
