Hi,
We have an 18 year old Birman kitty who started meowing a lot during the night a couple of years ago. The vet ruled out health issues (we have gone back several times the last couple of years) and we have scoured the net to find solutions to no avail - we tried to play with her when we got home from work to make her tired, left "cat tv" on during the day, tried Feliway in various forms, tried Rescue remedy, the Thunder shirt, etc.
Ignoring her doesn't help, she just keeps meowing and then sleeps like a log during the day. It doesn't matter if we keep her in the bedroom or out of the bedroom, she does it regardless.
Since we lived in a large apartment before, we finally just started leaving her in the living room at night so that we couldn't hear her (we didn't have to worry about neighbors hearing her since we had thick walls) but about a month ago we moved into a small one bedroom apartment that has an open ceiling between the living room and the bedroom and very thin walls so it's become a huge issue. We are getting no more than a couple of hours sleep at night and we also worry about the neighbors since she's very loud. Don't know what else we can do and would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks so much!
Isabelle
