Question
I have a 12 year old female mutt cat and over the past 3 years she has started meowing constantly. I didnt really pay any attention to it until I started talking to a friend about my cat. My friend said she read an article about "yappy cat syndrome". She stated that some cats want to "talk a lot" whereas they did not want to before. Medically shes doing fine so whats really with the constant meowing, any answers?


Answer
Hi Janet!
I'm not really sure.  I have three Siamese and they are real "talkers" which is quite common for that breed. I also have a Cornish Rex who will sit on the bathroom sink and cry until I come and turn on the faucet for her! Honest!   Since your cat just started in the last few years, then I'm at a loss. If she isn't trying to tell you something...like feed me or water me, then who knows? Maybe she is just "conversing" with ya!   I know this isn't very helpful, sorry!

God Bless,
Becky
