It'a possible that your kitty could be going deaf. Sometimes when cats are
going deaf, they vocalize a lot, just like people who are hard of hearing sometimes talk too loud. She also could be going a little senile. Yes, 13 is early old age for a cat, but I think it could be possible. My cat, who was 13 when she passed away, used to do what I would call "pinging" me. She would wander around the house yowling, waiting for me to answer. I would say "over here!" and she would follow my voice till she found me. She would be quiet while she was with me. Would it be possible to keep food, water, and litterbox in your bedroom at night? You could just keep her in the bedroom with the door closed all night, so she doesn't wander too far and forget where you are. If you can afford it at all, I think a checkup with the vet would be a good idea. She should have a senior blood panel run just to rule out things like hyperthyroid, kidney failure, liver problems, etc. Good luck! -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net Check out www.snittens.com "Ensoul100" wrote in message ... its not new, but it's worse I have used feliway gotten new toys and rotate them, play with her several times a day,,,making sure to do longer session in evening she's always feed before we go bed, has both dry and canned food & fresh water Sam is given lots of loving keep a light and a radio all night, mind you we live in small one floor 2 bdrm apartment she can go outside on the balcony as she pleases, but no outside at all I have ignored it I have thrown things at her and yelled NO (I never hit her with an object) she's not close enough to use the water bottle thing I'll call her into bedroom give her some loving, she settles at the end bed for a few hrs...takes off and it begins all over again Sam is 13 or 14, spayed...still very active healthy, she eats well, coat is great shape, litter box no problems, curoius as hell friendly but the damn yowling...I've never heard a cat louder...she sounds like she's in heat and yowling into a megaphone does it on and off during the day its the night time thing....as in every night we get waken up several times live in rural area there only 3 vets....all want total payment up front I have posted before....SPCA says there are no programs to help w/Vet unless animal is severally sick as in life threatning are income is very limited, hubby on SSI due to cancer living with the yowling....he truly needs his sleep as do I at my wits end, love her dearly but need sleep the neighbors have even complained....since goes out on the balcony and yowls! ensoul He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it ~Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy |

Sam is 13 or 14, spayed...still very active
It could be hyperthyroidism which, unfortunatley, can only be diagnosed with bloodwork. Once diagnosed, it can be treated inexpensively with tapazole. Actually, untreated hyperthyroidism is definitely life-threatening. Candace (take the litter out before replying by e-mail) See my cats: http://photos.yahoo.com/maccandace |
