What a great site!!! It's heavensent!
I have a challenge with my 12-yearold spayed female crying/vocalizing. She's been doing it now for about 2 years and it's gotten worse since my 17-year-old male cat died.
I've read how to stop it but what I'm really asking is why. She seemed to me to be crying out to see if anyone was home. When I said Tigger I'm here - she'd chirp back a kind of Oh, okay. I realize I shouldn't call back to her but...
The past year she seems to be vocalizing alot but it's almost like she's cat talking to the air, or invisible spirits or ????? It isn't the crying but chirps and mrrrrrwwwwws, different kind of vocalizations.
Anybody experienced this? Any ideas?
I did check the non-physical causes (was she going deaf? was she losing her faculties,) and I'm planning on taking her in for a checkup. Also I did just get a 7-month-old in hopes her crying might be that's she's lonely. My cat that just died was a companion but not a pal to her but I think she missed him nevertheless.
Any ideas, experiences are so welcomed and appreciated. Ely
