Why Is My Cat Meowing at Night? Causes and Calm Solutions
MyPetVillage Team7 min read
Cats are naturally crepuscular (most active at dawn/dusk), so night vocalizing is common, but it can be reduced with routine changes.
Common reasons
- Hunger or feeding schedule
- Boredom and lack of play
- Learned attention patterns
- Stress or environmental change
What helps
- Play session before bedtime
- Food puzzle or small meal timed appropriately
- Avoid reinforcing meowing with attention
- Provide enrichment and comfort
Personality differences matter: some cats are more vocal or social. Use our Pet Personality Test as a reflection tool to understand traits like sociability and sensitivity.
