Meow of a cat is the cutest sound ever! But if they continue to meow, a question might arise. There can be chances that they are having some health issues which need to get checked by the vet. Following are some of the reasons for the constant meowing of your cat:

• Your cat could be in heat This could be one of the reason if your cat has not been spayed. If a 6-month-old unspayed cat starts to meow then it is positive that they are in heat.

• It can be a sign of Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism is something which is seen in elderly cats where they experience symptoms like insatiable hunger, weight loss, vocalization, and excessive activity.

• Cat’s meow for expressing pain Cats always want to hide their sickness and rarely show pain, but, when the pain becomes uncontrollable, they meow for attention.
  
• Your cat may meow if they feel bored or lonely The cats that are very much attached to their owners can meow a lot when they are home alone or are bored. So it’s always better to leave some toys with them when they are alone. You can even get another cat to give them company.
