Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 2 days old
Hello, my cat is around 1 year old, a little bit under 1 year. It's a female cat that didn't undergo neuter yet. She is generally well behave but she Meows everyday. On a more silent day it is 5 hours. On a worse around 10 hours of meowing. I am at home with her so she is never alone or missing good or entertainment. She can go out on my balcony and i go out for walks with her as well. The only time she doesnt meow is when she sleeps. I have been to vet and she is healthy. Thanks for advice.

Since Pusen is not spayed yet, I'm wondering if she may be in heat - this is a very common cause of excessive vocalization in female cats, especially if she is also rolling around on the ground and yowling. Female cats stay in season almost constantly unless they are pregnant, so if you think this may be the problem, I would recommend having her spayed as soon as you are able to - this should resolve the excessive meowing if it is related to her heat cycle :)

Excessive vocalization can certainly occur due to pain, but can also be related to stress/anxiety or as a sign of heat. If you are concerned that Lana is in pain, please take her to the vet for evaluation. Do not give human pain medications to cats because can be fatal if given to cats.

Hello, sorry to hear about your kitty. Its difficult to say, some cats may have increased vocalizations because they are hungry, because they are itchy, or because they are intact. Some cats may have remnant ovarian tissue and may continue to show signs in heat. All of these causes can be determined with some routine testing from your veterinarian, including bloodwork, a physical exam, and potentially and ultrasound. If she continues to do this, then you should have your cat checked to make sure she does not have a remnant ovarian tissue that needs to be addressed. Hope this helps and best of luck.
