my cat is miauing and I don't know why
Jacob is a 10-week old cat and I have had it for about 2 weeks. He adapted
to living by me almost immediately and he was a very sweet cat. However, about 2 hours ago he started miauing constantly. I called for him and he came right to me. I petted him a few moments but he jumped off my lap and began miauing again. There is plenty of food and water availible. It is comfortable temperature so what ails him? why the constant miauing? I have even picked him up and look for anything that may be painful. I do know that the flea drops (From Sergeants) that I placed on him last week hasn't had any effect whatsoever. The fleas are rather thick and I am constantly combing the cats fur und dunking them into a soap and water solution where they sink and drown. But I can get in only a few swipes at a time as he leaps off my lap and goes into the other room. Yesterday I ordered Frontline for cats from 1800Petmeds.com. They even gave me an extra pill when I told them I had four cats. The regular pack had only 3 pills in it. I am on disability and receive a small amount of money each month and the 42 dollars for each month that the fleas are around will but a burden on me but my cats are worth it. I cut back on my expanded cable and discontinued HBO and I have no regrets about losing those luxuries. I love my cats, David Lee |

I love my cats, David Lee Could be the fleas, but then again if your my siamese cat, Waco, you just meow and meow and meow until you get what you want. In his case, it's outside. I bring all my cats in at night, but he will cry, and cry, and cry wanting to be let out again. It just about drives me bonkers at times. I have stopped giving in to him and after a time he will settle down and stop with the meowing but man alive! It drives me nuts until he does! |

As another poster suggested, some cats and especially Siamese can be very vocal. If it continues or it become frantic, I'm afraid a trip to the vet is probably in order. Especially if he doesn't urinate and/or defacate or appears uncomfortable. As to the fleas, if you keep your cats indoors (as you really should, 100% of the time), you should be able to eliminate the fleas from your home completely with 2 treatments per cat. The second treatment should be 30 days after the first. Frontline, by the way, is a topical treatment, not a pill. So long as no other animals visit your home and you don't bring fleas in from somewhere else, you may not need to treat them every month. The little buggers do find a way in (sometimes on a rodent you don't know has visited) so keep an eye out and treat at the first sign if they recur. -- Lynne |

Always look to the safety of your cat first. I do not approve of letting cat's run around the neighborhood. If this is the only choice, Lynne is right, keep them indoors 100% of the time. But they do enjoy some outside time so if you're in a situation where you can build a "cat enclosure" by all means do so! The cats love it and you can really have some fun building ramps and hidey holes, planting cat nip and all kinds of other things that your cat will love you for! |

The cats love it and you can really have some fun building ramps and hidey holes, planting cat nip and all kinds of other things that your cat will love you for! I myself am going to fix up the green(house) room that was an add-on to the house when we bought it. I've already got a lot of plants started in there, and the couple times I've let Joxer in there with me he seemed to enjoy sniffing around, and he doesn't like to go outside outside anymore, and I think it would be a good place for him to relax and get away from the dogs(they're not trying to attack him or anything, they just don't understand he doesn't like to play the same way they do). When the catnip that finally sprouted grows up, I'm gonna put in there for him. He's a good mouser too(he likes chipmunks as well, as I found out when he brought in a fresh kill and put it on my bed and nudged it into my shoulder...I don't think he got why I wasn't impressed), and I keep hearing mice/rats climbing and squeaking in the wall in there(when it was built they put insulation on the walls but didn't cover it on the ceiling, and the stuff they did put on one of the walls in a small section(right next to the door, maybe at best 1 foot wide), where it's thinnest to make room for the light switch, it broke there, so that's exposed too. Don't like hearing them in the walls when I'm in there, it creeps me out...keep expecting to see them start to swarm out of the walls. |
