Older Siamese Cat With Increased Crying

[maltbear]

I have a 12 year old female chocolate point siamese who weighs 7.5 pounds. (She's bitty . . .) She has had a wonderful life with an abundance of love, food and shelter. (Gypsy is strickly an indoor cat.) Lately, however, she has begun to cry without provocation. Is she trying to tell me she isn't well? Her last check-up was in March and she had a complete blood workup at that time. Nothing untoward jumped out to my vet. Is Gypsy trying to tell me she's ill?

don't think anyone knows why siamese hollar like they do but they sure do their job..could be noises out side that she hears and you don't ..could be aw nother cat in the neighbor hoos in heat,,, could be birds nesting.. coube squirrels squirrling...who know but if there are no othere symptons you must might have to live with it.....check her for signs of pain, ie arched back,c rawling on her belly, looking at parts of her body....who knows.....

Thank you for giving me ideas on what, possibly, I might look for. You're right about Siamese being howlers; I enjoy the conversations we have together. I appreciate the response!

I wonder if your Siamese could be losing some hearing or vision at her age. It is not uncommon and will make them feel insecure if you are not in the room with them. My Aunt had a Siamese who lost his vision and would cry and howler all the time. Just a suggestion, hope that everything is ok, and it is just conversation. Mona, HOneybun and Chloe
