Why is my cat meowing constantly and acting distant? Is he in pain?

It sounds like he should be examined by a vet to rule out a medical problem. He could have an infection, parasite, metabolic, and/or endocrine disease and your vet can run blood work to help diagnose and the determine if treatment is needed. Hope he feels better soon!

Vomiting and increased vocalizations can sometimes indicate pain or distress. This could be due to GI upset, underlying illness, etc. If the symptoms continue, worsen, or you see additional issues such as increased vomiting, attempting to urinate or defecate but can't, loss of appetite, etc, then it would be best to seek veterinary care ASAP to find the underlying issue.

I recommend a urine screen to determine his urinary tract health and any cause for pain or discomfort in this area. Kidneys are only rarely damaged by urinary obstruction but if there is evidence of issues, a blood test may be required also. Wet food, calming supplements and pain relief may be recommended depending on the results

With that kind of vocalization and restless behavior, I suspect he may have a urinary tract infection. I recommend getting him to see your vet as soon as possible, Male cats are especially prone to becoming blocked and unable to urinate. If it isn't urinary, he still may have some underlying medical condition that is making him uncomfortable and restless. Your vet will do an exam and labwork to determine what is causing this behavioral change and how best to treat it.

This is definitely different behavior. I cannot say for sure what it is without seeing him and doing an exam on him. I would have your vet take a look at him to ensure he isn't in pain somewhere. I would also try to get a video of the behaviors so the vet can better understand what he is doing. This will help him make a diagnosis. If you are concerned about too much food, I would break up his meals to smaller more frequent meals throughout the day. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. I would recommend a trip to the veterinarian to ensure she is not suffering a medical problem causing this behavior change. A disease known as hyperthyroidism can cause increased vocalizations in a cat. It is usually accompanied an increase in thirst and urination, hyperactivity, possibly vomiting/ diarrhea and weight loss. She will likely have blood work performed to rule out this as well as other internal diseases. If she is found to be healthy, then you can discuss behavioral modifications at home. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Albert. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. Cat fight wounds are very common after being outside. The veterinarian will examine him and look for any wounds. If there are none, laboratory work may be discussed. He may also be given fluids if he is dehydrated and pain medications to help him feel better. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to cats. I hope this information helps!
