My cats are stressed and meowing in their sunroom. How to help?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siberian | Female | spayed | 7 years and 11 months old | 14 lbs

I am a nanny to an infant that I watch in my home. I have 3 cats. My cats are kept in a spacious sunroom that is separated by the rest of the house by a large sliding glass door. Initially the cats were fine to be in there, with toys, food, a litter box etc..., but after a few days being in the sunroom from 9-4, my cats that usually sleep ALL DAY LONG are wakeful/meowing. My oldest, age 8 has been the most difficult. I take breaks to go in there and hold her but she is stressed. Pls advise.

I recommend you put some Feliway diffusers in your sunroom and do some environmental enrichment for them. Usually these two things help. ( https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-CLASSIC-Diffuser ) ( thedrakecenter.com/materials/environmental-enrichment-indoor-cats ) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AejmrLa_Cs4 ) Hope this helps. Best wishes!
