A Cure for the Cat's Meow?

Cat's meow for a myriad of different reasons. It could be anything from saying hello to wanting to be fed. The key understanding behind your cats meow is simply that they want attention.

If you have a cat that can be quite demanding with theirs meows try this technique.

When your cat starts to meow, they want you to give them attention, so you need to teach them how to be patient.

As they begin to meow, ignore them until the meowing subsides. As soon as you get a quiet moment, go over to your cat and give them lots of love and attention.

When you walk away, if the meowing begins again, remain calm and quiet. This means don't yell stop. Wait for your cat to be silent. After a moment, provide them with more attention.

The idea is to teach the cat that they will get the attention they desire ONLY when they are calm and quiet. With a little time and consistency, this does work.

There are some cats that simply do not get enough attention. If you are away for long periods of time during the day, your cat may be over craved with desire to be played with, which can produce excessive meowing.

The ASPCA says that if this occurs, it may be a good idea to hire a Pet Sitter to come to the home during the day and provide your cat with the attention it needs and desires. This can help alleviate all of the meowing you receive when you get home after a long day.
