Contstant Meowing
Okay, I've already done a good bit of reading here in the group about
other's and their cat's constant meowing, but I've got some of my own questions. I have what I believe is a siamese cat, got him from the pound, so I'm not exactly sure, he could be a himalayan/siamese mix. I think he definitely has the siames "voice" that I've read about. My cat meows all the time, when we come home I can sort of understand, but it continues on into the night, if he walks by he's talking. The only time he doesn't meow is when he is in the bed with us sleeping, and most of the time it seems like that's where he wants to be and where he wants us to be. I've not taken him to the vet recently to ensure that there is nothing wrong with him physically, but there doesn't appear to be. I read one post about some cats going deaf, there are signs that he can still hear so I don't think that's an issue. He still plays, eats, drinks normally. I just don't understand the meowing or what to do about it. I need some help here, it's getting to the point now that it's getting to a breaking point. Any advice. B-Worthey |

That's normal for siamese and tonkinese breeds. They are very vocal. (I'm
glad the vet checked him over to make sure nothing is wrong physically with him). Gail "B-Worthey" wrote in message ups.com...

B-Worthey Siamese are very vocal, but I would also want to have a thyroid test. Vocalization is sometimes a sign of thryoid problems, especially in an older cat. MaryL |

Siamese are very vocal, but I would also want to have a thyroid test. Vocalization is sometimes a sign of thryoid problems, especially in an older cat. MaryL This Is very good advice.Try that one If you can please? Another thing that comes to mind Is that, a close friend of mine had a very similar sounding problem to this one.Everything in this post sounds almost identical to the ones you mention in your post too. I am assuming that he has been nuetered?(desexed?). The reason I ask you this, is because to cut a very long story short, It turned out that the desexing job that was done to him, didn't entirely work, & he was ever such an unhappy chappie,& obviously no one could *see* a problem with him,as you state in your posting. Having got to breaking point herself, she took him back & they got a second opinion, because she was certain that *something* had been missed, & she was right too!When he was desexed, It wasn't done correctly, & some of his bits were left.Having diagnosed what the problem was, It was very simlpy corrected, & they all lived happily ever after in this case. Maybe It would be worthwhile asking for someone to have a closer look? Good Luck & Best Wishe's, S. |

It doesn't seem to have been an issue until just here lately. I don't know. I just know we've got to figure something out. B-Worthey |

Gail I haven't taken him to the vet at this point, not in a while anyway. Maybe I mistyped something in my OP. We are going to take him to the vet soon though. Okay, so maybe this is something very normal for siamese, what then behaviorally can I do for it. I've tried ignoring him, tried playing iwth him more, tried different things, nothing works. Will nothing work? B-Worthey |

Okay, just read your post and some other posts here about another owner that is having problems with his cat have a hyper-thyroid problem. One thing he mentioned was that his cat threw up 2-3 times a day. Someone mentioned that this could be due to some medication he was taking. My cat also throws up frequently. Not everyday though. I've attributed it to hairballs because there have been times that I've visibly seen hairballs. Maybe it is the thyroid issue. I'll definitely look at taking him to the vet son after the first of the year. Are there any other signs of a thyroid isue? B-Worthey |

Other signs of hyperthyroidism are excessive thirst and hunger along
with weight loss. They do tend to talk a lot. B-Worthey wrote: "MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... Siamese are very vocal, but I would also want to have a thyroid test.

I wouldn't say he's had any problems with weight loss, he's quiet the healthy cat. He does act "weird" when we turn the kitchen faucet on (where his food/water bowls are). Even though he has water, he acts like he doesn't. I think he just can't tell its in there some times. I don't know. Like I said, will get him to the vet soon after the new year. B-Worthey |

I thought this might have been a problem since you've had him but if this is a new behavior -- I would definitely think it's medical. Along with the thyroid test I'd ask the vet for a full blood panel. How old is he? We had a Siamese and she was vocal, and was more so as she got older. The change was gradual though and not enough to be annoying. She never went through the house meowing constantly until the very end when she was in pain from renal failure. Rhonda |
