I swear I don’t know what to do anymore. I am literally typing this while having a full-on breakdown because I can’t take my cat’s meowing anymore.
She is a spayed 5-year-old female cat. For four and a half years, I had no issues with her whatsoever. Everything just drastically changed this January. She literally meows and yells and screams 24/7. Morning, night, when I am home, when I am away — it doesn’t matter. She takes 20-minute breaks and goes right back at it.
She lives the most spoiled life — she has tons of toys, a cat tree, shelves, windows, and an automatic feeder. I don’t work from home, but I absolutely make sure to play with her. But she just doesn’t freaking stop, and I am gradually losing my mind.
I took her to the vet. They did all the tests and blood work and all that stuff and didn’t find anything wrong. They prescribed her Gabapentin, but even that only half works. Sometimes it helps for a few hours and I can actually sleep, but most of the time it doesn’t help.
I can’t get a second cat for companionship due to already developing allergies. None of those calming devices from Amazon help. We live in a very large apartment (and she has always lived in apartments), but at this point I am also anxious about inconveniencing my neighbors.
I love her so much. She is my best friend, and I can’t imagine giving her away, but I also can’t keep losing my mind like this with no light at the end of the tunnel.
Has anyone been through this and are there any remedies at all?
