Bobbie Two Toes is meowing the house down.
About two months ago, she lost her best friend Diesel.
We tried to pair her up with another cat but it didn't work out,
So now she is on her own again.
Then we went on holiday for a week, and our friend cat sitted.
When we came back she was.... meowing.
She wasn't doing it when we left.
But she IS definetly meowing now...
She's fine.
She isn't sick.
But is she meowing from being left alone?
Or is she meowing because she is in heat?
She is showing signs of being in heat but not all of them.
She is calling...
But is she calling for a mate?
Or is she calling for a friend?
The other thing is she has always had an unusual meow, like a small child.
So it's quite hard to tell wether she is now calling... or just meowing, though it is more insistent, and gets really bad at about 4am.
How do we know the difference?
Could the meowing be because we left her for a week?
The cat sitter stayed here at our apartment with her,
but he was at work most of the day...
And she is used to someone being with her all day...
It's incredibly stressful.
Is she lonely?
Is she bored?
Is she pining?
Or is she in heat?
I supposed the final answer is to spay her, which we shall be doing within the next few days, but what if she's still pining?
Does anyone know how cats deal with loosing a friend?
It's not so much the meowing that is stressful, it's the constant worry that she's pining for her companion.
