I am not sure if this is the right place for this but I am in dire need of sleep and help. I have a 9 years old papered White manx stubby with blue eyes, and yes she is deaf. She was born that way but I love her all the more. She never meowed of made any noise - a hiss or two at a new pal but no "in-heat" sounds or crying. Until about a year ago. At night she howles! It is so loud and she sounds like she is in pain - however she isn't and once she sees someone she is fine. She knows where I am at night - she sleeps with most of the night but when she gets up anywhere between midnight and 5 am she howls like she is lost and can't find her way. She walks around the house cries. It is very annoying that early in the morning and the husband isn't to fond of it. Has anyone ever heard of this or have any ideas on what I can do?
thanks for any help.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!

I am going to take her back to the vet, however we were just there a few months ago and I was told it could just be that it is a new place. I don't think so because we have been here for 7 months and she did this before we moved here. I appreciate the input. I love my kitty a lot and will put up with it but if I don't have too that would be nice. I have had so many problems with her from eating herself to not being able to reproduce to a busted eardrum to hating her cat friend and me having to get rid of her (the other cat) etc... I am just trying to make life easier for us here at home. I don't really think she is losing eye sight since I have had to put her on dog steriods to calm her down before. I will ask again since I love her so much. Any other ideas? thanks alot

Well just to update - I got the tests back and they are all good. No problems with her liver or thyroid or heart etc... It was the geratric blood test. My vet recommended putting her back on Amitriptyline and getting a Feliway plug in. The drug worked on her when she was chewing on herself so I am hoping that it will work for this. Has anyone ever heard of this "plug-in"? I was told it emits a pheromon (spell) that calms cats.
Thanks
Here is her picture watching the bubbles my kids were blowing.
