Why is my 2-year-old neutered cat meowing constantly around the house?

What would a 2 years old neutered male cat be calling for? He's been vocal lately just walking around the house and calling.

If it is an abrupt change in behavior, it could signal some kind of discomfort, physical, such as a bladder infection or some other ailment making him painful, or something mentally distressing him, like a strange cat outside, being in a new place. If he seems fine physically, i.e. eating, drinking, eliminating normally, being his usual self, I would keep an eye on it. If you see any symptoms of illness, get him in to see your vet as soon as possible. Check around and see if you can identify when/where it is happening and if there is anything that might be causing him to vocalize.

That is a very unusual behavior. If it has come on suddenly, I would bring Nibbles to a vet to rule out any health issues that may be causing pain or distress, and thus the behavior. It may also be that he is attempting to elicit play or attention from you. Making sure his needs are met and playing with a toy or other object to get out some energy may help. Since he is also not neutered, it could be there is a female in heat nearby that is getting him excited/agitated.
