Why is my 15-year-old cat howling at night with kidney disease?

Question

My cat howls at night, he is 15 years old, and he only howls when he is in the bathroom, and only at night, one of the places that we have food an water. There seems to be no reason for him to howl, he has food and water, we had him checked for UTI. He does have kidney disease.

HI and thank you for reaching out at Pet Coach. Howling like this can be related to senility in older cats (which, unfortunately there is nothing you can do about that). It sometimes can also be related to high blood pressure. Kidney disease is one of the diseases in older cats that can cause hypertension. I would recommend to have your cat's blood pressure evaluated. Thank you.
