She has food and water available 24/7, so that's not the problem. She also has light 24/7, so that also is not the problem. I am so sleep deprived, I am becoming afraid to drive. My father keeps saying, don't take her to the vet, leave her alone. I think he knows the vet will recommend putting her down. My Mom passed away about 24 months ago, my dog died at age 6 of a gastrointestinal problem that the vet thought she had conquered. The day I thought I was bringing him home, I got the call he had gone into cardiac arrest. That was last May. I think his thought process is that I can't go through another death. I need to know, is this dementia or something more? I don't want to drag her out of her environment to a vet's office for them to tell me she is declining mentally. If she is suffering, I will do it in a heartbeat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253303849689975252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-27554847212345447942013-03-27T13:27:28.436-07:002013-03-27T13:27:28.436-07:00I have a question about my 2 cats and a quick resp...I have a question about my 2 cats and a quick response for the last person, I just moved from an upstairs apt and I also worried about my 2 cats playing, they were loud and knocked things down etc at night mostly! I then didn't worry anymore because in my lease I was entitled to have them, and the Landlord and tenants have to accept what comes with pets and living downstairs, it's the same idea as having a crying baby, it's no one's fault, it just is. My question is, why does my one cat cry randomly? Food, litter, water, not a problem, she has a friend Kitty, I have 2, we just moved to a house, so I leave the front door open with only the security gate closed, she can look out, she gets attention, she's not sick, she just had a vet check visit 3 weeks ago, help me!

I wake up numerous times,Food , water,litter box are not the issue.Does anyone have any clues or is this natural behaviour. What I am confused about is the fact I have had cats all my life and I dont recall this ever being a issue. I did have a cat that passed away four monthes ago was wondering if that was a reason. They were never close with the cat that passed. Im really confused, although I am woken up during the night my main concern is my tenant downstairs. When my cats play at night you would think there was a elephant in the house.Its funny they go places they would never go when im awake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-47998459242419416072012-12-01T03:13:15.079-08:002012-12-01T03:13:15.079-08:00My cat in driving me insane!!!!!

Instead of leaving kibble out for him, which gets eaten by the other cat, you can feed them both FELIDAE canned food at regular meal times in the morning and evening. Stand by until Big Boy is done, to prevent the other cat from gulping his food and "helping" Big Boy. Put whatever he doesn't eat back in the fridge (covered) and put it back down for his next meal, adding to it as necessary. He will soon learn that instead of nibbling at his food, this is his daily ration and he should eat it all.

Lately, I've been getting very angry with him so I through things and water at him. He runs but that doesn't stop his vocalization. I think the problem is he is hungry. You see I have two cats, Big Boy likes to nibble at his fool but my other cat waits till he leaves and finishes the food. So when Big Boy returns for another nibble there is no food left.

In my parent's house, she used to do it in the hallway outside our bedrooms, and at my apartment she does it in the hallway outside the bedrooms of my roommate and I as well. I prefer to think that it's just sort of her night-time song, she doesn't seem particularly distressed, and her sister, my other cat, takes no notice of it.

Outside cats make their rounds to find food and one or more may have an area in your yard where they find shelter. They only reason other cats would be interested in your cats would be if they are unaltered males or unaltered females.<br /><br />LindaLindahttp://canidaepetfood.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-60858800946530199412011-09-08T22:00:58.633-07:002011-09-08T22:00:58.633-07:00Hi all.
