Cén fáth a mbíonn cat ag screadaíl san oíche?

• Borrtha hormónacha.

If your pet is not neutered, the most likely cause of the nighttime ora lies in the hormonal boom. Often cats begin to scream in the spring. They feel the call of instincts in themselves, they hear the cries of relatives from the window, and the air seems to be filled with romantic moods – how can one sit still? Here the pet is worried, screaming, demanding that the owner let him go in search of a soulmate. But, of course, you shouldn’t do this.

Cats who have known mating scream even more than their “innocent” counterparts. It is a mistake to believe that it is enough to take a pet “on a date” once a year, and he will be calm. Nature has much more impressive appetites, and you need to bring cats together much more often. Therefore, if the pet is not involved in breeding, it is wiser to resort to sterilization.

But why does a neutered cat yell at night? After the operation, the hormonal background does not immediately level off, and the behavior returns to normal gradually. However, if you delayed the procedure and the cat is already used to serenading under the door, it will be much more difficult to wean him from this.

• Boredom.

Boredom is an equally common cause of night screams. Cats are nocturnal animals. When the whole house is asleep, they have nowhere to put themselves, no one to run after, no one to “talk” and play with. Here they express their longing as best they can. In this case, orom.

• Attempts to get attention. 

Some pets are real manipulators. Perhaps they believe that it is harmful for the owner to sleep all night, and correct the situation with their vocal exercises. Of course, they would be happier if the owner woke up happy and played a teaser game with them. But if you run after a cat around the apartment with a newspaper in your hand, that’s also not bad. Surprisingly, there are a lot of cats in the world who love such “catchers”. After all, even if the priest arrives, the goal has already been achieved!

Kittens with night concerts express longing for their mother, seek attention and protection, because experiencing stress when alone. As you get older, this behavior goes away.

• The cat wants to go for a walk. 

Sometimes the owners themselves provoke unwanted behavior in their pets. For example, yesterday you decided to take your cat out for a walk in the yard “just because”, not aiming for regular walks. And the cat liked it, and now she is bored sitting in the apartment. Hence the screams at the door.

• Tinneas. 

Unfortunately, serious diseases can also be the cause of cat cries. The cat feels unwell, feels anxiety, and, possibly, pain, which is expressed by a cry. Usually, other symptoms also indicate the disease. In any case, it is better to play it safe and take the cat to the veterinary clinic.

Each of us likes to think that everything is always under our control. But do not forget that pets are living beings with their own characteristics and needs, with their own nature. And they may disagree with us in many ways! If your cat’s “bad” behavior seems unreasonable, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Study the habits of your pet, watch him and do not forget that you always, under any circumstances, remain a family and a team!
