Why does a cat scream at night

A cat's meowing at night is a way to communicate its needs.

Thus, the animal wants to tell you about hunger, thirst or boredom.

The causes of night noise can be different. Quite often a cat gets bored at night when everyone is asleep.

These are predominantly nocturnal animals.

This can become a real problem, as a person may not get enough sleep at night because of it.

Sometimes pets will suddenly start meowing if they are upset or hungry.

Nevertheless, you should not feed your cat at night, as the pet will get used to this diet and will ask to eat every night or early in the morning.

What to do if your cat meows loudly at night

If an animal meows at night, it is important to understand the reason.

Find out what your pet's needs are not met.

If it's boredom, buy a toy that your pet can play with on its own.

If your cat is an adult and has not had this behavior before, it is worth checking the animal's health with a veterinarian.

Try to train your cat to stay awake during the day and sleep at night.

To do this, do not feed or pay attention to the animal at night.

Play with your cat a lot and for a long time during the day so that in the evening the animal gets tired and wants to sleep.

Sometimes loud meowing is a sign that your pet is unhealthy.

Sometimes it can be a symptom of cognitive impairment, cystitis, chronic stress and lack of physical activity.
