So ever since I’d say last week, Oreo has been meowing a lot though the day and loudly. I’ve had her since early March now since she was about 6-8 weeks old and she has never been this vocal before and Nugget and her have always been very quiet, only vocal when they saw their food. Every time I go to my room (we have an screen door in front because my allergist recommended me to not have the kittens in my room for my allergies and I also keep it closed during school hours) Oreo meows a lot and even when we think she is asleep, I go upstairs and she will wake up from her short lived “nap” and meow for me or my mom and we honestly don’t know if it’s a new personality trait or if it’s a behavior one, if it’s normal, and why the sudden change, you know?
I haven’t been able to fully cat proof my room since I have so many wires and I need to reorganize my stuff. But I don’t mind them being in there in the day to just chill out with me being that my allergies have been getting better. The vet says they’re fine and healthy so I don’t think it’s a medical related issue, maybe an attention one?
Also, Nugget my second kitten has also begun to meow more and climb the screen door like halfway up like yesterday when I was taking a shower. But she doesn’t meow as often as Oreo does. When I’m in school I can’t attend to their needs like playing or giving them attention but when I can, I come to them when they’re finally quiet and pet them and give them chin scratchies. I often ignore them during the morning-afternoon though because of school and my un-catproofed room. I read that attending to their every meow makes them learn that meowing for however long will get them your attention even if it’s like 3am in the morning (I need my sleep lol). Does anyone else have a similar issue or know why this happens in kittens/cats?
