For those of us who keep cats, if the cats are too noisy, not only will we feel annoyed, but it will also affect the relationship between neighbors.

Some of the male cats meow particularly loudly, as if they are extremely dissatisfied. They simply like to "nag" more than the female cats.

Why does a male cat keep meowing? Is it really just because of dissatisfaction? Probably not, it is mainly related to the following reasons.

 1. Illness

"Screaming loudly" is one of the signs that cats are sick. It is precisely because they feel pain but cannot solve it that they vent it in this way.

Among them, "cystitis" and "urethral stones" are the two diseases that most afflict cats, especially the pain caused by the latter to male cats, which is difficult to describe in words.

In fact, these two diseases can be cured. The key is that the poop scooper must detect the cat at an early stage.

For example, if your cat often goes to the bathroom, but does not urinate much each time, and often meows loudly, then you need to take them to the doctor.

As for how to prevent these two diseases... In the final analysis, cystitis and urethral stones are generally caused by cats drinking too little water. You might as well let the cat drink more water.

 2. Looking for the shit shoveling officer

Some cats are particularly dependent on their poop scrapers. Whenever the poop scrapers leave their sight, they will become particularly anxious, and then they will keep barking in the process of looking for their poop scrapers—— This is called "separation anxiety disorder."

For this type of cats, even if the scavenger just leaves a small room, they will think that this seriously affects their mutual trust. So in the process of searching, they not only bark non-stop, they may also destroy things at will or bite other members of the family.

This matter is easy to solve. Just spend more time playing with your cat... Well, but there must be a limit to let the cats get used to a sense of distance between each other, otherwise they will still bark in the future. Non-stop.

 3.Estrus

If a male cat screams when he is sick because of pain, then a male cat in heat screams purely for "excitement."

In the world of cats, female cats breathe through the low meowing sound.Attracting the opposite sex, and then causing male cats to not only bark non-stop when in estrus, but also to bark violently, and even when "jealous", they will compete with each other to see who can bark louder.

Don’t think that indoor male cats won’t meow non-stop. Although there are individual differences between cats, when the estrus period comes, we cat owners will inevitably hear meows.

The solution is quite simple. If you don’t want to breed your own male cat, just neuter it.

 4. Dementia

Don’t think that only we humans can suffer from dementia. Cats can also suffer from this disease for some reasons.

For cats, dementia will make them spend the whole day in a daze. No matter day or night, they will meow constantly, as if they are asking who they are.

Moreover, cats with dementia are difficult to take care of. They will forget to go to the litter box to use the toilet, they will forget who they are, and even the scavengers will be forgotten by them (intermittently).

If you don’t want your cat’s dementia to get worse, don’t make them feel “anxious” – avoid environmental changes in your home as much as possible, speak as quietly as possible, and keep them as calm as possible.

 5. Hungry

Male cats (and female cats as well) who have lived with their scrappers since they were young, of course know that the scrappers will prepare food for them, which is why they will bark incessantly when they are hungry.

However, we have to remind all poop scrapers that if cats know that barking will get food, they may use this "rule" to come to the poop scraper to ask for food.

If it is a meal, of course we can feed the cat; if it is not a meal, then no matter how ferociously the cat meows, the cat should never be fed. It will not be good if it gains weight.

So, if your male cat keeps meowing, it may be related to the above reasons. You still have to solve it at that time. After all, they can’t speak, so they can only deal with it in this way. Express emotions.
