Does a cat cry real tears?
Written By: Franny Syufy ( About.com Guide ) Some cats, like the Maine Coon or Abyssinian, are very quiet and rarely do you hear a peep out of them. Other cats, such as Siamese are well known for making their voices heard. Generally a howling, wailing or crying cat is trying to get attention. A cat may cry to be let out of the house, or because she is hungry, begging for food or treats or perhaps because she want’s a cuddle and a little fuss made of her.
If your cat howls or cries to get attention then you, or someone, has trained her to do that. It is difficult not to pet or cuddle your cat when she is making that noise, but the trouble is that cats are intelligent creatures and they soon learn which behavior gets them the attention they seek. By nature cats are night time hunters.
They are not truly nocturnal but do spend a good bit of the daytime lightly sleeping, this means that they are often wide awake in the midnight hour. With all the humans in the house asleep cats can become bored and lonely and crave attention. It is best not to respond to an attention seeking crying cat right from kitten hood and howling will likely not become a problem.
What if the pattern is already established, is it possible to break your cat’s crying habit? Yes your cat’s behavior can be changed but it won’t be quick and easy, it will need plenty of patience and consistency on your part.
Don’t Reward The Crying A cat may cry to be let out of the house, or because she is hungry, begging for food or treats, because she want’s a cuddle and a little fuss made of her, or because the litter box needs attention. Do not reward your cat’s attention seeking cries by giving her what she wants, unless it is something that really does need immediate action. No matter how nuts the crying drives you, or how heartbreaking it is, don’t pay attention.
Leave the room or, if possible, put on some loud music. Learn to tell when your cat is about to start to wail and distract her attention, play with her using an interactive cat toy. Only give attention to your pet when she is not caterwauling and never when she is. Be consistent, avoid giving your pet tough love one day and caving in to her demands the next.
Over time you should be able to reduce the attention seeking crying if not stop it altogether.
