Answer

Excessive nighttime meowing in an older cat can be due to several factors. It could be a sign of cognitive dysfunction syndrome (feline dementia), pain from arthritis, hyperthyroidism, high blood pressure, or even just changes in their routine or environment. It's important to have a veterinarian examine your cat to rule out underlying medical conditions. If medical issues are excluded, behavioral strategies or environmental enrichment might help. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
