Meowing Cats meow at their owners for several reasons,including:to ask for food,to greet people,to ask for attention,to let you know they want to go outside/come inside.In addition,elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction,similar to Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) in humans,may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented,so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.
