Why do cats always like to meow in the 'dead night'?

What was the most difficult experience for you after owning a cat?

What's the most frustrating thing your cat has ever done?

A shit shovel officer left a message for me. He said that he had just moved and rented a house; he had not yet adapted to the environment of the new home, and then the cat started to meow non-stop at night.

Because it is an older community, the sound insulation is relatively poor, and the cat's meowing at night is really "heartbreaking".

In order to avoid making the noise too loud, the shovel officer deliberately kept the cat in a room and closed the doors and windows of the room.

But I didn't expect that just after moving in for 3 days, the neighbors found the house.

The neighbor said: "Can you please take care of your cat? My old man doesn't sleep well. He hears your cat's meowing at night, and he can't sleep well. If you do this again, I will file a complaint against you. ."

Because of the cat's meow, the shit shovel officer was very helpless.

Many shit shoveling officers have had similar experiences:

Regarding the meowing of cats, cats do not like to meow during the day, but prefer to "sing" alone in the dead of night.

Looking at the cat sitting on the window sill, looking at the dark scenery outside, and feeling the lonely back of the cat; the next second, the cat's long-lasting, louder meow came from my ears.

At that moment, the shit shovel officer finally realized the destructive power of the cat, and felt panic in his heart.

Why do cats always meow at night?

There are mainly the following reasons.

First: Haven't adapted to the new environment

Just like the cat in the netizen's house above, he just moved to a new home a few days ago, and the cat has not yet adapted to the environment of the new home.

At this time, the cat's heart is insecure and emotionally anxious.

In order to transfer and relieve emotional anxiety, cats will make themselves less anxious by meowing.

This reminds me of a certain experience growing up:

When you encounter something that scares you, you shout a few times to give yourself courage.

In the cat's meow, the shit shovel officer can also understand this meaning.

Second: the cat may be in "estrus"

Generally speaking, cats may enter estrus after 8 months.

Moreover, for male cats, it is easier to call each time they are in heat, which is a characteristic of most male cats.

Moreover, the meowing of cats in estrus is relatively sharp and has a feeling of hoarseness.

When the kittens are in heat, they rarely call.

Third: The cat is a creature that is "nocturnal"

The cat's biological clock is usually in a sleep state most of the time during the day, and in the time period of dusk and early morning, it is in the time when the cat is extremely excited.

If the shit shovel officer has carefully observed your cat, you will find that the cat is really energetic at night.

Cats rarely parkour during the day, but at night they start the sport;

Cats are lazy during the day and are always sleeping; at night, cats are very awake and always want to do things.

This is just the cat's biological clock.

When cats are energetic at night, they will use various ways to vent their energy and divert their attention.

Meowing is the best way for cats to vent.

Just like when you lived in your hometown in the countryside, if there was a dog barking in the village, other dogs in the village would bark along with it.

The same is true for cats, who are craving the outside world while venting their excess energy.
