How Do Stop A Cat Meowing At The Middle Of The Night 







Does your cat make noise at night? This is how to stop meowing at night





Does the cat wake you up at 4 am? You are not alone. For most cat parents, blankets aren't completely necessary because they can rely on their cat to wake them up at night, demanding to be fed. This method also reduces stress when food is already in the bowl.






If you can trust your cat to wake you up early in the morning, I'm here to help you sleep. 


Why do most cats do this pre-dawn routine? Because nature has made them this way to survive. Cats are dark hunters. This means that it often motivates them to hunt when their prey is most available: at dawn and dusk. Your cat hasn't gotten the memo that this survival instinct isn't needed in your home where the food bowl is never missing. With the food in the bowl, why does your cat feel the need to wake you up to add more? 






For cats, food is not only food, it is also for hunting. To survive in the wild, cats will hunt, catch, kill and eat eight to twelve mice or small prey per day. This animal system of hunting, catching, playing/killing, and eating small amounts of food is necessary for contentment. So when the hunting call sounds before dawn, the kibble and bowl are not interested. Your cat satisfies the craving for meat by waking you up (a scary meow at night) and making you finish the dish. Only then should food be eaten. 







To stop nocturnal seizures, others recommend that you and your cat eat before bed, ignoring any attempts by your cat to get up. How is it going for you? You can't cat a cat. What you can do is give them a way to fulfill their instincts that allows you to fulfill yours!



Teach your cat to hunt with food. Then hide the feeders around your house before you go to bed. Now your cat can spend the night as nature intended: hunting, hunting, and playing with small portions of food before eating them, you can spend the night as nature intended for humans : sleeping ! Finally, your cat can hunt his feeders, instead of you!!!!

One more thing. Cats eight years of age and older can develop hyperthyroidism. This condition can cause the cat to be active, hungry and talking at night. Take your cat to the vet for an exam and possibly a blood test to rule out any underlying medical conditions, just to be sure!

This is National Diabetes Month, recognizing Feline Diabetes




As in humans, diabetes is a growing problem in pets, and as the problem progresses, pet owners should be aware of the risks and treatment options available. Diabetes mellitus is defined by the inability of the pancreas to produce enough insulin which is needed to process sugar, fat and protein. 



Pet Diabetes Month, which takes place in November, makes people aware of diabetes in cats and dogs, and this month, Trupanion, a health care provider for cats and dogs, is paying special attention and diabetes in cats.




Trupanion reports that diabetes is the second most common condition in cats. Comparing the data with cases in dogs, Trupanion found that cats are 3.5 times more likely to develop diabetes.



Feline diabetes is more common among older to older cats, but pet owners with cats under one year of age have been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood sugar. Although it is rare, it is useful to know the symptoms and dangers of your pet in time. 



Large pets and people with pancreatic problems are also at a higher risk of developing diabetes. Trupanion found that pet owners who are overweight or obese are 10 times more likely to develop diabetes than pet owners who are at a healthy weight.




Cat owners should be aware of the signs of feline diabetes and the treatment options available. With early diagnosis and understanding of the disease, diabetes can be managed effectively. If left untreated, it can lead to kidney or bladder disease, malnutrition, dehydration and death. 



Diagnosing diabetes early can improve management and help your cat in the long run. Some of the early signs of diabetes include increased thirst and urination, increased appetite, and weight loss. If you notice any of these symptoms in your cat, contact your vet.




If your cat is diagnosed with feline diabetes, there are many treatment options available. Work with your veterinarian to be as efficient as possible when caring for your pet. Each treatment plan will be different, 



from diet and exercise changes to oral medications and insulin therapy, and it's important to be aware of any treatment changes throughout your cat's life. Cats often require insulin injections and some conditions can be controlled with oral medication.
