Since yesterday morning Ellie has been meowing nonstop, all day and night. I just adopted her over a month ago (never had a cat before). I was wondering if anyone knew why they do this, is she in heat or something?
Regardless, now would be a good time to figure out which vet you want to take care of your cat. Even if all you do is go in for annual shots, it's good to have an existing relationship with a vet (or at least a specific clinic). Don't wait until you have an urgent emergency to establish an account as a customer.
Sar, Thanks so much. I would have to say, since day one she would always rub up against things. As far as her meowing, she really didn't do it that much before, and now it is constant, sometimes short and sharp and others long.
maverick_kitten, Ellie is 2 years old. Other than the constant meowing everything is normal. The only thing that is different is she is on the main floor alot more. I also have a 1 1/2 year old golden retriever, and when we brought her home she stayed upstairs most of the time, every now and then she would come down, but now the past 2 days she is on the main floor a lot, I just take it as she is use to everything now. My dog gets along with her great, it is cute when they lay on the floor by eachother.
Nano, We do have a vet (our golden retrievers vet). When we brought Ellie home we wanted her to have a check up just to make sure everything was okay with her.
I will call my vet today. Thanks for responding.

just keep an eye on her because shes probably in heat. my cat escaped whilst in heat and was gone for five days. it broke my heart and i would hate for the same thing to happen to anyone else.
