Cats that keep meowing and scratching at the door at night may be because they have changed to a new environment and lack a sense of security, so they want to express their fear in this way. Secondly, if the cat has not been neutered yet, it may be in estrus, so it barks and digs at the door to find a cat of the opposite sex for mating. In addition, cats are also prone to this situation when they feel hungry, cold, or thirsty. The main purpose is to attract the owner's attention and let the owner satisfy its needs.
1. Lack of sense of security
If the cat has just arrived in a new environment, it may keep barking and scratching the door at night because of the lack of sense of security. At this time, the owner can gently stroke the cat to calm its nervousness and place familiar items around it. In addition, owners can also use toys such as cat teasing sticks or freeze-dried snacks to shorten the distance between them and the cats. The cats will stop barking after they become familiar with them.
2. In estrus
Usually cats will go into estrus when they are 6-7 months old. At this time, the cat will meow and scratch at the door, wanting to go out to find other cats. During mating, there will also be behaviors such as urinating and sticking out the buttocks. In this case, if the cat has reached adulthood and the owner has a breeding plan, the cat can be bred. If there is no breeding plan, you can take the cat for sterilization after the estrus period is over. At the same time, be sure to close doors and windows to prevent cats from jumping out of windows, falling, or getting lost.
3. Needs
Cats will keep meowing when they have certain needs, such as being hungry, thirsty, cold, wanting to go to the toilet but can’t find a suitable one If the owner ignores it at this time, it will dig at the owner's door and bark more urgently. Therefore, the owner can check the cat's food bowl and water bowl. If there is really no food and water, then he needs to add cat food and drinking water to the cat immediately, and take measures to keep warm in time.
