How can I Stop my Cat from caterwauling?
It’s okay to lavish your cat with attention to prevent caterwauling, but not okay to bestow affection to stop the caterwauling. Don’t reward whining! If you do, your cat will quickly recognize that he is in charge and that caterwauling gets him what he wants. Reset your cat’s timetable.
Why does my cat yowl when I leave the House?
If a stranger (animal or human) comes inside their protected perimeter, they may caterwaul. Even if the intruder stays outside, they may yowl. Expect some singing if your cat sees birds, squirrels, mail carriers, etc. through a window and considers them trespassers. Insecurity. Cats don’t like change.
When is it safe to let my new cat out?
It can take a day, 5 days, a couple of weeks or more for your new cat to relax. 2 weeks is an average adjustment time for most cats. As long as your cat is eating, drinking, using the litter box (even if its under the bed!) and not showing any signs of illness, it is generally safe to leave them in their hiding spot.
Why does my cat refuse to use the litter box?
Cats refusing the litter box is a common symptom of an underlying medical issue. Your vet will do a physical exam, check your cat’s blood and urine, and possibly feces. This is your best line of defense against a cat refusing the litter box. Your cat may be urine marking because he’s stressed.

Why does my cat refuse to eat anything?
Some cats will develop a food aversion, most commonly after an illness or hospital stay. Such cats associate a particular food with feeling sick or with the stress of hospitalization, and then refuse to eat that food. It may require some ingenuity and trial and error to discover what your cat is willing to eat if a food aversion develops.
