The article addresses a cat owner, Lisa, whose male cat, Jasper, yowls during nighttime. Potential reasons for this behavior could range from habit, loneliness, boredom, to environmental factors such as the presence of other animals. The advice emphasizes ensuring Jasper's health through a vet visit, addressing his emotional needs by providing engagement and attention before bedtime, and disregarding attention-seeking behaviors to discourage yowling. Jasper's behavior indicates he may crave more interaction, suggesting an understanding of his emotional and physical wellbeing is essential.
If you haven't already, take him in for a check up to make sure there isn't a medical reason for the howls. If he gets a good report, time to consider other factors.
If Jasper is closed out of your bedroom, or if he's separated from the other pets, he might be lonely and missing his humans. Try giving him extra attention right before bedtime.
Cats also yowl when hungry or bored, if the condition of the litter box isn't up to their exacting standards, or an outside cat is trespassing on claimed territory.
If this is something he has consistently done for much of his life, it could just be a habit. If you get up to check on him or offer him treats, then he knows he's got you well trained.
