If a male cat sometimes whines at night, it may be that he is in heat. If the male cat has been neutered, it is very likely that he is bored or hungry. First of all, if the whine is due to heat, the owner can breed the cat or take the cat to a pet hospital for sterilization surgery. Secondly, if the cat barks because it is bored, the owner can play with the cat more to consume its energy. Finally, if the barking is due to hunger, the owner can put an appropriate amount of cat food in the cat's bowl before going to bed and check whether the cat has enough drinking water.
1. In heat
If a male cat is over 6 months old but has not been neutered yet, he will howl at night when he is in heat to attract the attention of other female cats. , and at the same time, there may be behaviors such as urinating everywhere, having a bad temper, and always wanting to run outside. This situation may last for about a week. The owner can breed the cat or take the cat to a pet hospital for sterilization surgery. If you choose sterilization, you need to wait until the cat's estrus period is over. Surgery during estrus will increase the risk of surgery.
2. Boredom
If the owner is usually busy with work and rarely spends time playing with the cat, the cat will purr out of boredom at night, trying to attract the owner's attention. Pay attention to asking the owner to get up and play with it. Some cats will even run directly to the bed to wake up the owner. Therefore, it is best for the owner to spend more time interacting with the cat, or prepare more toys for the cat to play with. After the cat's energy is consumed, it will naturally not disturb the owner.
3. Hungry
Cats will whine when they are hungry at night, trying to remind their owners to feed them. This situation is more common in families that usually feed cats at fixed points. The owner needs to consider whether the time between each meal of the cat is too long. If so, you can prepare food for the cat before going to bed, so that the cat will eat by itself when it is hungry. .
If there are 3 to 4 meals a day, it is generally recommended to wait about 4 to 6 hours between each meal to allow the cat’s digestive system to rest and avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
