What causes excessive vocalization?
The most common cause of excessive vocalization is attention-seeking, a learned behavior. Many cats learn to meow to signal their wish to go outside or be fed. This technique is especially effective early in the morning or at night when you are tired. To stop the offending noise, you may give in to your cat’s demands. Once cats expect your attention, they continue to vocalize even if you attempt to ignore their behavior. As you probably are aware, most cats will outlast you, and you may eventually give in.
Excessive vocalization may also indicate the presence of a medical or more serious behavior problem. Cats may meow excessively when they are in pain or have neurological problems or sensory deficits such as hearing or vision loss. Anxiety, aggression, frustration, cognitive dysfunction or other behavioral problems can also cause cats to vocalize repeatedly.
How do you treat excessive vocalization?
Treatment for excessive vocalization depends on the underlying problem. If you have a cat who is vocalizing excessively, take her to a veterinarian or veterinary behaviorist so a primary medical or behavioral diagnosis can be made.
If your vet determines that the cause isn’t medical, consider why your cat is asking for more attention. Many cats turn to vocalization because they are bored and aren’t receiving enough stimulation. Increasing your cat’s mental and physical enrichment may eliminate the problem. For more information, read “Cat Enrichment” and “Enrichment Ideas for Cats.”
