For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.we have had this recently with our cat who is 16 years old. On finally taking her to the vets we discovered that she has problems with her thyroid and metabolism and the loud harsh miaowing was due to the equivalent of "colic" from eating too much at one time.
Now she is on two tiny tablets each day (given to her in her favourite- cheese!) and the crying is pretty non-existent!
I dont profess to have all the answers but it might be worth a quick trip to the vets to see if its something that can be remedied quickly and easily.
Best of luck! x
I was going to answer that it is definitely a sign of dementia, which is quite common in very old cats. Elfin has said all I wanted to say. It can be helped with drug treatment from the vets. Dogs suffer as well.
If your cat is eating well and seems otherwise OK then I would rule out other causes. But you must see the vet.
Our daughter's tabby cat Whisper is 17 years old & although she has a good appetite, is getting quite thin too. She is also drinking lots more & miaowing more than usual during the day & night. The vet has told her that it's all to do with her 'getting old' (the cat I mean, not my daughter)!
I would certainly phone your vet for advice, but expect they will ask you to take him along for a check up.
Hope all goes well for him & you.
