Since Maude has crossed the RB Nuts has been very vocal. This is a cat that never really meowed and I thought he couldn't until Attitude went into heat and I found out he can howl as well. He is constantly meowing especially when I'm on the computer, he quiets down if I pet him. Well I was watching Mythbusters that I had DVR'd and he started meowing and then he yowled. He was in the kitchen so I paused Mythbusters and went in and got him. I picked him up and he quieted down. He was purring, not sure if he was before I picked him up. He was fine when I was giving him attention. I just got on the computer and he is at it again. It's almost like a kind of whiny meow. He's now laying in the hall and did it a few more more times. He's currently talking back to me because I keep telling him not to get on the counter(which he knows isn't allowed but he's been doing it for days, really annoying.)
Is he sick, is he trying to call Maude, is he lonely and wants attention, he has food and water and he doesn't seem interested in either. When he does it to Paul he feeds him thinking he's hungry and sometimes he'll eat. He's now doing a yowling loud meow. He just went to the door, jumped up on two paws sniffed and has walked off(he's inside only he doesn't want to go out.) I think something is out there. He just got quiet, never mind I hear him meowing again. The only unspayed female we have is Half-tail(she goes in April 7 to get spayed) and I think she might be pregnant and I don't think she could be in heat, I'm pretty sure all 3 outside males nailed her, I know Goldie Jr did, I watched that.
I really can't spend money to take him to the vet. I leave Sat to go to Disney World with Bobby and my parents so I need the money I have to spend there(my kid takes priority when it comes to money over Nuts, unless this is a dire thing.) Like I said he has been vocal since Maude crossed the RB but he has never yowled before(except when Attitude was in heat. That got corrected the next day when I spayed her.) Ok he just quieted down again. Now he's on two paws meowing at my chair. No he's on the desk walking back and forth and now seems really interested in my bikini(I'm thin so yes I can wear one and look good.)
Like I said except for the yowling he has been like this since Maude died. It can happen at any time of day, like I said it's mostly when I'm on the computer but can happen while Paul and I are watching TV. Like I said I don't know if it's due to Maude's death or something else. He doesn't act sick, he's still eating, drinking, using the litter box and chasing and play fighting with Attitude and still being an annoying PITA(and yes I'm saying it in a loving way, I wouldn't change his personality if I could) by repeatedly jumping on the counter when he knows that not allowed and in general like always. Basically he is acting like he always has and shows no signs of illness at all.
This is really kind of annoying. It doesn't bother me, it's just kind of annoying(in the same way a child crying for no reason for a long period of time or throwing a tantrum can be annoying.) Been there, done that with crying for no reason and tantrums with Bobby(my 7 year old son), it's annoying but I can deal with it.
Should I call the vet? He really doesn't seem like he's in pain, it's the same kind of whiny meow I've been hearing for almost a month.
Now he's laying next to my chair and is quiet. I just don't get it.
He just got into his bed and went to sleep about 10 ins ago and is peacefully sleeping. I also wanted to add that he seemed to sense/know that Maude was sick, he was being nice to her(normally he seemed to like antagonizing her) and I think groomed her face. He did go into the bathroom almost to like check on her. I know he noticed she didn't hiss at him(she really didn't seem to like him, but she didn't mind Attitude, she'd let her sleep against her back) or try to whack him with her paw like normal.
