Terabith Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 She is super agitated, going around pacing and meowing and staring at me and generally acting like she is desperate for food. She spent all last night jumping on and off of me and meow screaming. When I went to the bathroom, she stood at the door and yowled the whole time. She acts like she really, really wants food, but..... It's not food time. There is still wet food in the bowl from the breakfast that she DID NOT EAT. There is a full bowl of dry food. What does she want??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Did you rub her tummy to see if it hurts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Outside? To have you check on the monolith? Some particular cat treat that she thinks she needs? A piece of toilet paper to chew/eat, because she is a lunatic (like mine is)? Someone's lap to sit on? Even though usually she hates laps? All the attention, all the time? Any/all of these, minus the monolith, are things my cat has meowed at us about. I usually look for context clues in the room -- are we in the kitchen, near the counter? she wants her treats. Are we in the bathroom? Toilet paper. Some room that has furniture to sit on, but not currently sitting down? (even if some other person IS sitting down)? For me to sit down and be a lap. Etc. Cats are weird. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable at all....just upset with me that I'm breaking the schedule. Except I'm NOT breaking the schedule! She is full of LIES AND TRICKERY! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Is it a full moon? My kitties are calm so probably not, but they often act nuts during a full moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I hope this isn't the case, but acting restless and vocalizing can be signs of illness in cats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is full of LIES AND TRICKERY! perhaps she's confused on the dates - and thinks it's Halloween. I agree - this kind of behavior could be a sign of illness. I'd watch for anything else. Rubbing tummy, does she seem to have a fever, has she been relieving herself, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Blue Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 How old is she? If she keeps it up, I would have her kidneys checked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Maybe see if you have another flavor cat food. There have been bad foods over the years. Maybe she is reacting to something not tasting right. Otherwise, she has declared herself a mermaid and singing a siren song for the lighthouse? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one of our cats died of heart failure, the only sign that something was wrong was that she was following us around and meowing in an unusual way.

Terabith Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 She’s 14 and very constipated and has been for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarita Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Ask your vet. One of our cats had a tumor in her bladder, apparently the signs (before it was too late) was peeing and drinking more often, and playfullness. Cats do wierd things when they don't feel well.

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 When my cat had bladder cysts that’s how he acted. Is he peeing normally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 UTI maybe. Happened to my cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm guessing she's spayed, so not in heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarita Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Another thought is a few months ago one night my cat was meowing like she wanted food (food was available to her) and would not settle down. Later that evening I found a dead mouse next to my cooktop (on the floor) and a smug looking cat. I wish cats were more obvious with their communication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Not in heat. I gave her one of those push up cat treats, which she ate as if I had never before fed her in her life, and then she settled down. So maybe she was just saying, "Human slave, why are you not feeding me that treat that I love???" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
