Besides being in heat, are there any other reasons for constant howling? My baby girl, who I adopted a month ago, started howling at all hours about four days ago, particularly at night. I'm on my fourth of five nights without sleep and at my wits end. I'm also afraid my neighbors are going to complain to the tenant manager. She's supposed to have been spayed and there's no blood in the litterbox, but all other signs point to heat. She very affectionate, the howling and the constant need to be near a window or door. I really, really need sleep and some peace of mind as my other cat has been admitted to hospital, so if someone could help, I'd really appreciate it.

Sounds like she needs to be spayed. The only thing I can suggest is get her to the vets for a spay and until then wear earplugs

Best thing to do is have her in to your own vet for a look-see. Can you request a copy of her medical records from the adoption agency? It might help your vet to get a better idea of what they did (or didn't) do for her.

Best of luck,

You said that your cat who " started howling at all hours about four days ago..." and " the constant need to be near a window or door" and " my other cat has been admitted to hospital". Any connection between your cat being admitted to the hospital and when your cat started this behavior? Stress? Loneliness? Concern?

she started howling while he was still at home. now i think part of it (she's still meowing but it's not the guttural howl) is that she misses him. i have a vet appt. tomorrow.
