Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your cat is making those unsettling howling noises. Let’s try to get to the bottom of it together.
Cats can howl for various reasons. One common cause is that they’re in pain. This can be due to arthritis, dental issues, or an injury. Another possibility is that they’re feeling anxious or stressed, perhaps due to changes at home or a new pet in the area. Cats also howl when they're disoriented, which might happen if they're losing their vision or hearing with age. Lastly, unspayed or unneutered cats may howl when they’re in heat or searching for a mate.
First, try to offer some comfort with a cozy and quiet space. Observe if your cat exhibits any other symptoms like limping, drooling, or changes in eating and drinking habits.
If you notice these warning signs, such as worsening howling, lethargy, severe changes in behavior, or if they're unable to use the litter box, it’s essential to seek veterinary care promptly.
For further peace of mind and a more personalized assessment, consider scheduling a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We're here to help you and your furry friend!

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
