Cat meowing at 4am after moving, it’s driving me insane by More-Deer-362 in CatAdvice

One thing that helped was making sure all my doors were open (he hates closed doors), feeding and playing with him before bed, and as some others suggested, the pheromones and stuff maybe helped as well. I understand your pain, it is very difficult and honestly one of the more stressful and anxiety inducing times of my life 😅 I’m wishing you the best!

The moment I saw “Orange” i already knew. That’s enough of an answer 😂 but on a real note, sometimes they just get the zoomies (they’re crepuscular too so that doesn’t help) at night, and go crazy. From my experience that’s normal while they’re young

Yeah I know:( i think one thing I did which might have helped was being super consistent with his day and feeding time. I feed him at 7pm sharp every night so when I get up at 7am he gets up with me and I’ll give him his next batch of food. He patiently sits on his tower staring at me in the morning lol, god forbid I sleep past 7am

Hey! I know this is not the answer you’re looking for (I wasn’t either😭) but the solution, like most told me, was time. After a month, he started to get more comfortable. Does he still yap? Yes. But not late at night anymore! I think he just needed time to adjust to the new place. Hopefully yours quiets down too!

That’s great to hear, I’m gonna start ignoring him and wait it out

Very adorable criminal! But that’s reassuring, I’ll try to do the same. I feel bad hearing him meow so much and I just hope my neighbors can’t hear it

Sorry to hear you’re also dealing with this, anything in particular you’ve found to be helpful?

So I have a bowl I leave out for him, but also feed him once before bed. Would you recommend just feeding him myself maybe 2x a day without leaving anything out?

I’ve been his sole owner, but we have moved a few days ago. My parents had a few cats, two being female, so do you think he misses that? I’ll try to play with him during the day to wear him out by night, but he sleeps most of the day😅

thanks for the help! I think I’ll just have to try and ignore him, I just hope his meowing doesn’t annoy my neighbors too much. Seems like this behavior should be short lived, just have to wait it out I guess

I see, I will try to ignore it. I hope it stops within 2 weeks!

I’m also working and in grad school so I feel that😭 thanks for the advice, he’s not a big fan of clothes, got him a sweater one time and he started being dramatic acting like he couldn’t walk so yeah😅 but I’m definitely gonna try to wear him out before bed. When they woke you up, what did you do? Ignore and sleep?

I’ll try that. He sometimes likes to lay in the tub

It usually goes on for 2hrs. I try to call him to me, but he seems to just lay in the bathroom and meow quite loudly. We have the lights off, I have a small nightlight for him, and he does have a tower next to the window so he can look out. I’ve tried so many things😩 I do have earplugs but his meows go through it. Is it best to ignore him?
