Your cat's yowling during the night is a common behavior for cats in heat, and it can be quite disruptive. This is natural, but there are steps you can take to help manage her comfort and your rest.
- Provide enriching activities during the evening.
- Consider consulting a vet about spaying if applicable.
- Explore calming aids or environmental changes.
Cats yowl when they're in heat as a way to attract a mate. Offering her a warm, peaceful place to relax might help, and pheromone diffusers designed for cats can create a calming environment. If this is becoming too frequent or stressful, discussing spaying with your vet might be a beneficial long-term solution. Spaying will eliminate heat cycles, reducing this behavior significantly.
