Excessive Nighttime Meowing: Do You Have a Meow Clock?

No, that is not a Serval, but Serval’s are used to produce a hybrid cat called Savannah Cats.

The best way to stop a cat from incessant meowing is to have more cats. THEN you have to tolerate the nightly game of Thunder Paws as they race around your house at night!

This activity, Thunder Paws, tapers off about age 7. That is the age cats tend to sleep most of the night.

I’m familiar with Thunder Paws. My youngest is the Household Champeen. My tomcat is a bit above the age limit but still plays. Maybe the younger one keeps him in the game.

“Maybe the younger one keeps him in the game.”

No doubt, and it is probably helping your old tomcat to stay healthy, too!

He isn’t that old, but I believe you’re right: He’d be a lot more static if not for Misty. (As would his “owner”.)

We have our two pretty well trained by now. Hubby is the morning guy and they wait for him to wake up, get his coffee and trudge to his office/man cave. It's there that they get their treats. One likes the freeze-dried chicken, the other, salmon. They go to their “places” to get the treats. The male is usually more demanding and will try to get more treats. His last one gets thrown down the stairs, where he runs to retrieve it. After “treat time”, they both come down and join me in bed for a few more hours of nap time. What's really funny is they somehow “know” when he has overslept their regular time and, rather than meow, the male will open the bedroom plantation shutters and the female will scratch on the carpet next to hubby's side of the bed. It usually works! They have us figured out pretty well which means, I guess, they have US trained.

My first kitteh was a stray who was only part Siamese. We called her “The Mouth of the South”. They are known for being chatty.

My girl kitties have to be around 10, 11...possibly older (We’re not the first owners and they were full adults when we got em) and the 6 year old boy kitties can still entice them into Thunder Paws AKA Feline Derby anytime they want.

Yes :)
