Hi all.
My cat is 13 years young and still
I live on the ground floor and have my own garden, but no cat flap.
As I work from home and it’s been quite hot I usually have the patio doors open in the day so she comes and goes as she pleases.
This past week or so she has started yowling at the closed patio doors when I call her in for the night (I live in a city and it’s too dangerous for her to be out at night). It is so loud when she does it, and she will do it for ages without taking a break and I’m starting to get headaches from it now!
She did/does sometimes make a similar noise but when she plays in the night and carries her toys around the apartment.
She also yowls at the patio doors if it’s raining and will sit there and cry even when I get up to open the door and she sees it’s raining so doesn’t want to go out.
I would say in general she is quite a vocal cat, more so now she’s older (especially when feeding) but this yowling is too much! I have tried doing a little research on what to do and not much works (except letting her sit in my seat on the sofa). I phoned the vets but they didn’t sound too concerned and said it’s probably just old age and forgetting the door is closed.
I’m really hoping another owner knows any tips or tricks on what to do and how to distract/get her to stop!
thanks so much!
