Cats Behaviour Chsnge

[Greedyfly]

My kitty had always been a funny character but I know him very well as we spend a lot of time together.

Recently, since the change in weather, he has been really whiney. I have considered he might not be feeling well but he only meows when he is shut in the house.

His routine has always been the same. He goes out first thing then he is shut in whilst we are at work, solely because other cats come in the house and bully him. He then goes in and out as he pleases until around 10pm when he wants feeding again. The same every day.

We gave had him for 5 years, he is neutered and is a really scaredy cat. These last few weeks all he does is meow once we have shut him in, never whilst the cat flap is open and he has the freedom to choose. So that says to me there is nothing wrong with him medically.

Any suggestions on the behavioural change and hue to rectify the continual meowing? He's driving me crazy.

I've tried leaving him out longer but he still complains when he gets home

Thanks

GF

What change in the weather? Cold to hot, hot to cold, wet to dry etc.?

I don't know where you are, so don't know what weather you have now and what you had before.

Its hot where we are - so maybe if he's shut in all day he's too hot?

Sorry Tuvok. I just assume the majority of us are UK based due to the .co.uk

I should know better. It's increased to around 24-24 degrees daily for a few weeks now. He is only griping when we are in and it is cooler on the house than outside.

Take him to the vet for a once-over, greedy - he might be trying to tell you something.

"one size does not fit all" for the weather.

I think thats the temperature here as well. But our living room is south facing, so its sometimes cooler outside than it is in!


Is there a cooler room in the house that he could put in? What about a fan - but obviously prevent him from poking kis paws in it!

[Greedyfly]

I give them a call tomorrow boxtops but I am sure it's a change in behaviour rather than illness.

It feels like he's playing up to get what he wants rather than anything else a he isn't meowing outside or when he's in the house when I leave, checked with the neighbours.

Thanks

Thanks Tuvok. The house gets no sunlight really as we are really enclosed and the curtains/blinds are drawn all day/night. Will open bathroom door as we have a slate floor, he might like it in there
