My cat does this every once in a while, but lately he's been very good until now. He is on new high blood pressure meds (Norvasc). Before that he took (Atenolol). I never thought perhaps that is the problem. I'll ask the vet, thanks! He has started being more vocal as he's gotten older, but he hasn't been bad at all until I'd say the last week or so. I wake up every few hours to tell him shhhhhhhh or call him up on the bed and he'll be quiet then until a few minutes later when he leaves me or decides to start again. He is always being tested at the vet and he is very current (last week or so) on all work ups, thyroid included, so I know it isn't that. He gets all the senior testing and sometimes I feel he's overtested, but I'm hoping they are doing the best for him. He needs to go back in 2 weeks for a recheck on the high blood pressure and red blood cells, so I'll mention the wailing too. Sometimes I think he just likes attention too. I travel some and I do weekend trips, etc., but my mom always watches him and spoils him like I do, so he's getting attention. I think he is losing some of his hearing (could that cause it)? Anything to help me get some shut eye is appreciated! Losing the cat is NOT an option! haha! No matter how much noise he makes, he's my boy and isn't going anywhere!
Thanks!
