Male cats sometimes scream at night, probably because of this

Many cats and dogs will scream at night, but what is the reason? Today, let’s take male cats as an example to talk about the reasons why male cats sometimes scream at night. Interested friends can come and take a look.

1. In estrus

If a male cat has been 6 months old but has not been sterilized yet, it will scream at night when it is in estrus to attract the attention of other female cats. At the same time, it may also urinate anywhere, have a bad temper, and always want to run outside. This situation may last about a week. The owner can breed the cat or take the cat to a pet hospital for sterilization. If you choose to sterilize it, you need to wait until the cat's estrus is over. Surgery during estrus will increase the risk of surgery.

2. Boring

If the owner is busy with work and rarely spends time playing with the cat, the cat will scream at night because of boredom, wanting to attract the owner's attention and let the owner get up and play with it. Some cats will even run directly to the bed to wake the owner up. Therefore, it is best for the owner to spend more time with the cat to interact, 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. When hungry, cats will scream when they are hungry at night. They want to remind their owners to feed them in this way. This situation is more common in families who usually feed cats at a fixed location. The owner needs to consider whether the interval between cats 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 hungry.

If you have 3 to 4 meals a day, it is generally recommended to interval each meal for about 4 to 6 hours, which can allow the cat's digestive system to rest and avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
