My cat meows non-stop when I leave the bed. Is she seeking attention?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 8 lbs

My cat keeps meowing for no reason all day won’t stop until I’m next to her on our bed, she has food water and litter she got everything but once I move off the bed she starts meowing. And when I’m on the bed with her she doesn’t stop rubbing against me She isn’t in heat either cause when she is she hides from us we know her routine when she’s in heat. We did recently lose someone but our cat didn’t really know that person

Cats will meow for many reasons but it may be difficult to know why: https://www.petcoach.co/article/top-6-reasons-why-cats-meow/ It's possible she is bored or anxious. There are a few things you can do which may help. Try enriching her environment. Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Use a Feliway diffuser, set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play and/or switch the food to Royal Canin Calm. You may also try feeding Juju Bean from a food puzzle and/or hiding food around the house for her to find. Most cats response best to combination therapy. The veterinarian can also prescribe medications which can help with behavior. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
