My cat, Bandit (about a year and a half old) is absolutely driving me crazy. He meows CONSTANTLY. He has to announce every single thing he's doing (Mom, I just went potty, mom - I'm jumping now, mom -I'm eating, mom - I'm moving my little toe, you get the picture...). Over the past few months his nightly bouts of constant meowing have grown, it's driving my boyfriend and I ABSOLUTELY BATTY!
He was meowing from midnight until 3am before I finally stormed out and put him in the garage (I'm in California so it's not cold in there right now) until I woke up at 6am for work. I was absolutely livid. I've probably put him in the garage in the middle of the night about 5 times over the past 3 months because I absolutely cannot SLEEP! I don't know what to do to keep him quiet. He'll meow if the door is closed to my bedroom - if I open it he won't even come in, he'll just go around the living room meowing louder.
He's an indoor cat and I have a dog - the two play for hours on end once I get home, running back and forth and nibbling on eachother (my cat loves to tackle my dog - a 65lbs Lab) - either way he has activity and attention when I'm home. Lately I've been letting him outside into the back for an hour or two to run around when I get home from work... but nothing has changed.
I can't keep losing sleep, my work and health are going to the tubes. I've tried a few sprays with water when he starts meowing at night but half the time he just runs away meowing
HELP! This cat is driving me NUTS, I need sleep
