Hi everyone,
I've seen a lot of people posting about this issue.
I have some advise to try.
Now here is my situation -
I have an 8 year old, neutered siamese male. He gets in phases where he meows ALL NIGHT LONG.
I tried all the classic stuff- ignoring him 100%, feeding before bed, play session before bed. None of that worked.
What I found worked was not PHYSICALLY but MENTALLY exhaust him.
What I have found works include- Walks outside on a harness (he is trained for this). Car rides work miracles - after a car ride he is quiet for like a week (he is good in the car, I am lucky) Letting him loose to walk around the apartment hallways and up and down the stairwells to look around (supervised), elevator rides to the laundry room. Anything that gets his mind working.
Treat balls filled with dried food before bed seems to work, keeps him mentally busy while I'm getting ready for bed, then he seems to be quiet.
I have found anything that mentally stimulates him works, and nothing else does.
I'm not sure if this is specific to Siamese, and probably won't work for the problems that accompany unfixed cats, but worth a try if you are kept awake by the midnight meows.........
