One of my cat meows nearly all the time after eating and after taking a $hit — and I don’t know the reason. I just call him and then he stops.
But I guess it’s because he’s an old fighter now (over 15 y.o.) and it’s maybe the beginnig of Alzheimer. (No joke.)

Cat’s meow has always a reason, and mostly there is a problem behind.
Where did he sleep before the new bed arrived? In your bed maybe? And now he feels alone — or something like this.

He hasn’t had a bed for a while as he just slept on the sofa, I don’t like animals upstairs so no, he has never slept on my bed.

I stopped him sleeping on the sofa a few months ago because he was loosing alot of hair, the vet just said that he was just shedding old fur and getting new and that they do that a few times a year (first time it had been that bad to have clumps of hair all over my furniture)

Anyway, I felt bad so bought him a bed to try and make up to him (sad I know), my hubby says it is probably just a sign of appreciation but I just wanted to know if anyone actually had any knowledge as it is a funny thing to see a cat do.

I don’t think so.
Appreciation goes more by purr.
But it depends also on the “melody” of the meow. If it sounds loud, high, long and lamenting it’s for sure not an appropriation.

He can’t purr
Never has been able to even when he is on a lap being stroked he can’t.

The meow is short, he does it about 3 times, it is fairly short and then he curls up and goes to sleep.

If it is a sign of something bad then what could it mean, I mean he is not the type of cat to do anything he doesn’t want, I have bought him beds in the past that he didn’t like and just never used them so if he didn’t like this one he wouldn’t be in it as much as he is.

About purr: It’s interesting, my male cat cannot also in an audible (!) way, but try to feel with your fingers the little vibs on his frontal neck when he is on his best mood (lying on your legs or so)! I guess he does!

I guess this short triple meow could be a kind of “good night” saying. You have not to worry about.

Zirbel’s cat is saying, “Who took the toilet paper out of this litter box?”

Queenlazymccoolbeans cat is saying, “What does it take to get some catnip pillows for this bed?”

Lazy, your cat meows at the new bed because it is fluffy and soft and it reminds him of his mother…he can’t purr you said. I have 2 cats, one is meowing before she goes to her potty. The other one is the opposite. The other one is meowing when you pet her and when you brush her fur, but especially when she wants attention.

I know he is ok because I look after him, I take him to the vet on a regular basis for checks, I say regular, about once a year to make sure he is ok but if I need to I take him when he needs it.
He actually had to go to the vets a few months ago when he stopped eating/drinking and slept for 2 days straight, turned out he had an infection from a fight and the vet said they can get a little depressed if they lose =/

But yeah, 2 injections and some pink water stuff and he was fine, just a shame they cost so much!!!

Anyhow, I digress, I just wanted to know why he did that out of curiosity more than anything, I know he is healthy and happy and I know he likes the new bad because trying to get him out of it is the same as trying to shift a teenager out of their pit in the morning, lots of grunts and then doesn’t talk to you for about an hour ;)

I guess I will just have to take it as though he is saying ‘hay bed, love you’ lol

Cat Bed.

I bought my cat a new bed about a month ago, it is a very plush fluffy thing on the floor in the front room.

The thing it, he meows at it every time he gets into it, I have never seen him do this type of thing with any other bed he has had in the past and not something he would do every time.

I just want to know why he does that, is there a reason for it or is he just randomly odd?

I also read some where that cats actually have quit a broad vocabulary of meows to mean different things and if so, what does that meow mean?

(I’m just curious really)
