Okay, I need HELP!
My daughter and I recently adopted a 14 yr old hermaphrodite cat. I believe she's mostly female? She's never had health issues and never had a litter of kittens. (if that's even possible for her)
She previously lived in a huge 2 story house with a 3 yr old girl who would hunt her down to "love" on her. She mostly stayed in a closet and wasn't very social and didn't ever play with the other family cat. The daughter was diagnosed with a severe cat allergy and we offered to take her in instead of the pound.
She has been in our small 2 bedroom apartment for over a month now... She is much more active, comes out during the day, is social with our guests. SHE WONT STOP MEOWING!!!
She meows all damn day... all stinking damn day long. Never stops unless she's asleep or eating. Her previous owner (who I trust) said she was never social, never meowed, and never let them pet her and love on her. All of those things she now does and she's finally eating normal amounts (which she wasn't at their home).
I cant take the meowing. It's loud, and directed right at me all day for hours. I don't know why and I've tried everything I know about cats... I've had cats my whole life and I've never dealt with this.
It's to the point that if she cant settle down she will have to be rehomed(which will be difficult).
ANY ADVICE?!
