Hi. I'm new to this forum and have read some of the wailing info, but I was wondering if any senior cat owners specifically have noticed wailing more frequently at night as the cat ages? My cat is a wonderful solid black persian mix who has had kidney disease for about 3 years now and he seems to be doing wonderfully. I give him fluid injections 3x per week. He also has high blood pressure as well and is taking meds twice daily for that. To look at him, he looks very healthy and young and weighs about 8 lbs. 2 oz. on average. I have been told by many he doesn't look like a kidney cat and he looks fabulous! I love to hear that! I take him to the vet constantly. We are always going to have something checked, rechecked, or check up, blood work, etc. He used to wail for a while at 5 a.m. a few months back and he would wake me up all the time and then he stopped. The last few months have been great and now all of a sudden he is wailing again all hours of the night. He wails/meows loudly when I come home and I think he's telling me his day.  All night he is quiet and sleeping or cuddling with me on the couch, but when I am just about asleep he starts his wailing. I call him to the bed and he is quiet when I cuddle him and keep him there, but then he jumps off and continues the loud wail. I don't think he's deaf, but he might have lost some of his hearing through the years. Is there anything I can do for this? I am going to have constant bags under my eyes if I have to keep getting up all night. when I yell to him to come over by me and be quiet, he will do it for a while and then back to the wailing. He usually picks the kitchen which echos the most! He must know that! haha! I love my boy and I'll put up with anything from him, but if someone could give me an idea how to get him to stop the wailing I'd be grateful! Also, if anyone knows what it means when the cats wail I'd love to know! Thanks!
