Find out why it meows

Solutions to stop meowing
Depending on the reason for meowing, we can take one solution or another. In this article we will give you the 5 most common solutions for these problems:
- Spay or neuter your cat Female cats often meow to attract other cats, while cats do it to respond to them or to tell their owners "let me out". If your cat or cat is constantly meowing because it wants to go out and you hear that there are other cats in your area making the same noise, neutering or spaying it may be the solution.
- Cleans his litter box more often. Cats are very clean and hate a dirty litter box. In fact, they won't even use it if it's a little dirty because they hate going to the bathroom on stained litter. The reason why it meows may be because the box is dirty, even if it doesn't seem that way to you. To avoid this problem, clean the box every night and check it a couple of times a day to see if it's clean.
- Have fun and tire him out with games Sometimes we think cats don't need to play because they're not dogs, but far from it. Little cats need to exercise, get tired and have fun to be happy. If they meow at us a lot and approach their toys, it could mean that what they want is for us to play with them. Buy him toys that challenge his intelligence, play with him for a while every day and in this way you will tire him out and he will not meow so much. You can also think about adopting a friend for him at a foster animal center.
- Leave him food and water at a fixed timeRoutine is essential for your cat to get used to eating at a certain time. If you can't establish it, you may find that you want to eat at 9 in the morning, at 7 in the afternoon or at 4 in the morning. Set a schedule and always leave water and some food at night, this way we will prevent it from meowing to wake us up and ask us to feed it.
- Go to the vet if it persists. If your cat meows very loudly, he could be suffering from a he alth problem. When it is repetitive, it does it very often and the intensity and volume of the meow is not normal, you should see your vet.
