It's not unusual for cats to show a change in behavior like increased vocalization, but it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention.
- Persistent meowing or yowling at the door
- Restlessness or pacing
- Attempting to dart outside whenever the door opens
- Hyperactivity or increased playfulness at unexpected times
Cats can exhibit new vocalizations for several reasons, and these could range from natural feline instincts to environmental changes, or they may indicate health or behavioral issues. Your cat's incessant meowing could be a sign of boredom, mating calls if not spayed/neutered, or even an indication of stress in the environment. Pay attention to any recent changes in your home that could have triggered this behavior, such as new family members, pets, or routine changes.
