1. Reasons why cats bark at night
1. Cats are more sensitive, Small animals with high vigilance will come out of a semi-sleep state most of the time when they sleep in the middle of the night. If they are subjected to adverse stimuli such as sound and light at this time, they will make alert sounds, which is a normal situation.
2. If the cat’s meow at night is like “Old Wu~Old Wu~”, then it is probably because of estrus. The estrus period of male cats and female cats is uncertain. After the first estrus at 6-8 months of age, there will be multiple seasonal estrus every year, especially in spring, the frequency of estrus will be relatively high. The time of each estrus of female cats is about 4-5 days, the time of male cats is uncertain, but the time of each estrus will be longer and the interval will be shorter.
3. When cats are unwell, they may cry because of pain, such as unbearable abdominal pain in cats. It is generally considered to be caused by gastrointestinal problems, usually accompanied by other abnormal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
4. In addition, cats with injuries or some elderly cats need to consider limb or joint pain. Cats with falls, bruises, calcium deficiency and other problems are prone to joint pain. Owners need to pay attention to whether the cat has symptoms such as lameness and reluctance to walk during the day.
Second, what should I do if the cat meows at night?
1. Try to let the cat sleep in a dark, quiet and comfortable environment at night, and avoid the noise and light outside the window disturbing the cat’s mood.
2. If the cat is barking at night because of estrus, it should be noted that the cat cannot be sterilized immediately, especially the female cat, sterilization during estrus is more likely to cause heavy bleeding, so it is necessary to wait until the cat is in estrus. Do sterilization.
3. When the cat meows, the pet owner scolds it in a low voice, not too fierce, to avoid the cat being frightened and causing stress. After the cat is distracted and stops meowing, you can reward it with treats and continue to distract it. Generally, keeping the cat full is also helpful for sleep.
4. If the cat always sleeps during the day and doesn’t sleep at night, and meows you to play with it, then the pet owner needs to find a way to play games with the cat when it sleeps during the day, consuming the cat energy, and correct it’s routine as a “night owl”.
5. If the cat is found to have other symptoms, such as the above-mentioned loss of appetite, vomiting, lameness, etc., it should be sent to the veterinary hospital for examination and treatment in time.
The cat itself is an animal with high vigilance and will not reveal its traces. If the cat is barking at night, it must be for some special reason, so the pet owner must be patient to observe and find a solution. !
