My cat is healthy but meows loudly and wants out. Should I spay her?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 10.8 lbs

My persian has been meowing very loudly and unnecessarily. She stays disturbed all the time despite having dry amd moist food, toys and affection and everything she could ask for. She is physically all good. She's eating well and seems healthy. But the main isuue is she wants out of the house everytime. She climbs over the gate and out of the house several times. I have tried everything! I tried discouraging her, the 'Yes' and 'No' and ignoring her but it keeps getting worse. What do I do now?

I would get Snowy spayed. The reason why she wants out of the house so much is that she wants to mate with male cats. The only way to stop this behavior is to have her spayed, so I would speak with a vet about having this done as soon as possible.
