Contstant Meowing

How old is he? We had a Siamese and she was vocal, and was more so as she
got older. The change was gradual though and not enough to be annoying.
She never went through the house meowing constantly until the very end
when she was in pain from renal failure.

It may be that I'm just noticing it more. He's only about 4 or 5 so I
wouldn't consider that old. I would say that it's been gradual with him.
It used to only be when we'd been gone from the house for any length of
time, even short amount of times, but he would quit after 5 or 10 minutes of
meowing, now it seems to be all the time. I say that, but he does take
breaks, but it seems he is meowing more often than not. Like now he is not
meowing, so I don't know.

That's normal for siamese and tonkinese breeds. They are very vocal. (I'm
glad the vet checked him over to make sure nothing is wrong physically
with him).
Gail

I haven't taken him to the vet at this point, not in a while anyway.
Maybe I mistyped something in my OP. We are going to take him to the vet
soon though.

Okay, so maybe this is something very normal for siamese, what then
behaviorally can I do for it. I've tried ignoring him, tried playing iwth
him more, tried different things, nothing works. Will nothing work?

You can't really work on behavioral issues until after your visit to the vet
because checking out medical issues needs to be your first line of defense.

I have a siamese mix and I'd be worried if I walked by her or one of the
dogs walked by and she didn't meow at them. It's her nature she's very
talkative. Sometimes it can be annoying but I wouldn't change her for the
world.

Trust your intuition. If you think he's meowing a lot more lately -- he
probably is.

Let us know what the vet has to say.

Okay, I've already done a good bit of reading here in the group about
other's and their cat's constant meowing, but I've got some of my own
questions. I have what I believe is a siamese cat, got him from the
pound, so I'm not exactly sure, he could be a himalayan/siamese mix. I
think he definitely has the siames "voice" that I've read about. My
cat meows all the time, when we come home I can sort of understand, but
it continues on into the night, if he walks by he's talking. The only
time he doesn't meow is when he is in the bed with us sleeping, and
most of the time it seems like that's where he wants to be and where he
wants us to be. I've not taken him to the vet recently to ensure that
there is nothing wrong with him physically, but there doesn't appear to
be. I read one post about some cats going deaf, there are signs that he
can still hear so I don't think that's an issue. He still plays, eats,
drinks normally. I just don't understand the meowing or what to do
about it. I need some help here, it's getting to the point now that
it's getting to a breaking point. Any advice.

Fwiw - cats don't "meow" to other cats, only to people. This cat is
familiar with people, and knows that making noise gets them to pay
attention.

Feed, fix and care for him.

Umm, we do. Doesn't explain the excessive meowing. The only time he is
quiet is when he is usually laying on top of either me or my wife.

Have you had his blood tested for an overactive thryoid?

Well, since we have been giving our cat thyroid medicine
she does not howl like she used to. Let us know how he does.
