Yelling Kitten

by John Michael
(Columbus, Ohio, USA)

My kitten, Rocky, is a male 3 month old rescue. We have had him for 2 months now. He loves to run around and meow at nothing. My other cat, Roxy, is female. She loves to keep to herself and hide but didn't do so until we got Rocky. What should I do?

Hi
I am not sure what your problem is here. All cats are different and display different behaviors. Some are quiet and some are more vocal than others.

Cats will often use their meow just to get our attention most of the time, so it could be that your cat is just doing that.

In a few months time it will be time for your male cat to be neutered. this will help to calm him down and be more settled. At the moment he is full of the joys of spring and being a kitten.

i have a page about cat sounds which you may find of interest here

Also if you are at all worried about your kitten or think that there could be something wrong (only a owner can tell this sometimes) then your best option is of course to take him to the vets to be checked over.

best wishes kate
