Nighttime meowing can be frustrating when you’re trying to sleep.
Cats may vocalize more after dark for several reasons, and with patience, you can help calm the chatter.
Common Causes of Night Meowing
Boredom or extra energy when the house is quiet
Hunger or thirst overnight
Attention-seeking behavior reinforced by response
Age-related changes like cognitive decline in older cats
Medical issues such as thyroid disease or pain
