Cats are often depicted as being fairly solitary creatures, but in reality, they are actually quite sociable animals. Cats are known to be able to get on with other cats. However this is not always the case and there are some breeds that don’t seem to like the company of others. The most sociable of all cats are those that have been socialized with humans from a young age. The most important thing to remember is that if your cat was not introduced to other cats at a young age, it would take time for them to get used to others, which may never happen.
Why does my cat meow so much?
Cats meow for a variety of reasons. If your cat is a neutered male or female, they are most likely to vocalize with other cats before mating. Cats also use their voices as a means to ask for food, water and attention from humans. One way that you can tell if an outdoor cat is in heat is the amount of time they spend meowing. This is because they are looking for a male cat to mate with.
When cats become upset or annoyed, it is common that they will use their voice to show their displeasure, just as humans would raise their voices if they were upset or angry. Some cats like to vocalize more than others and there is no obvious reason for this. The best way to get your cat to be less vocal is to ignore them excessively when they meow at you. This will let them know that whenever they meow, no one will come running.
Sometimes cats become so attached to their owners that if one of the family moves away or passes away, the remaining members of the household may notice a change in the cat’s behavior. Often this will consist of increased vocalization and anxiety when the rest of the family is out of sight. This usually resolves itself after a while but can take a year or more before it disappears completely.
Is meowing too much bad?
The sad truth is that some cats may never stop meowing excessively. The best thing you can do for your cat is ignore them when doing this, as not giving them the attention they want will eventually discourage this behavior. Some people recommend using a loud noise every time your cat meows to startle them. However, I would advise against this as your cat may become even more vocal if they are startled.
The other problem with cats meowing excessively is that you can’t be sure that it isn’t for a reason or that there isn’t something wrong with them. If you know your pet normally has good health and suddenly starts meowing constantly, it would be wise to take them to a vet to be checked over.
Conclusion
Cats are social animals that love to spend time with their owners. This is the main reason cat’s meow, as they are simply looking for company or expressing their wants and needs. If you have an outdoor cat, it is normal for them to be more vocal during mating season as they are anxious to find a mate.
