Why does my cat wake up meowing?
Grendel, my cat frequently wakes up from a sound sleep meowing in a very distressed tone. He's practically screaming. When this happens he appears confused and upset until I call to him. If this occurs while I'm sitting or lying down then he will come and lie on me. He usually then puts his paw on my hand, as if for comfort. He is only seven years old and is in great health. He's very loving and sweet. He loves to groom and cuddle my dogs. Generally, he is very happy. This behavior didn't come about until we moved into my husband's ancestral home. I don't know if that matters or not. I imagine he is simply having a nightmare, but I wanted some opinions on this. He literally goes from sleeping like a baby to yelling. Some ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cat wakes me up kneading?!?!?!?

Why does my kitten nibble my neck and drool on me?
I got her a few weeks ago and she is about 10 weeks old now. Whenever I am laying down to go to sleep at night she will climb all over me and just try to be near my face and neck. She keeps meowing even though I pet her. If I let her do what she wants she just digs into my neck and starts nibbling on it, and drools on me. She does it to my husband too. She also goes into my hair and starts kneading it like dough.... LOL thats the only way to describe it. I know why they do the kneading thing but why does she constantly need to be in our neck nibbling on it? It's driving me nuts, my other cat wasn't like this, she would just lay on top of our stomach and sleep.
Why does my cat knead and lick my arm?
The kneading, as someone else pointed out, is mimicry of nursing behavior. Kittens typically nurse for about eight weeks before they are weaned (so you got your kittens way too young). Even older, properly weaned cats will do that, as they see their human caretakers as their "mom". Cats and kittens also engage in grooming behavior, and when she licks you, she's grooming you. Purring is a social signal, but it typically does signify contentment. And yes, cats will engage in social behavior if they need to or if they benefit. What your kitties are doing is a positive sign. She loves you and wants to be with you.
Why does my cat meow when he first wakes up?
when u sleep ur heart slows down and goes to a more calmer slower pace.. and u are breathing slower and inhaling ALL different! Ur cat is just using his "MEOW" to get more air into his lungs! Same reason for why a baby crys when it is born, it is trying to get air into its lungs! HOPE THIS HELPS YOU! RBluva
Why is the cat I rescued yesterday constantly licking me, meowing loudly if it's alone or not on top of me, and clenching its paws a lot?
It is afraid of being dumped again.It is also treating you as mother (you are feeding it, petting it, taking care of it), hence the extra desire to snuggle. It will like being anywhere it can hear your heart, and be warmed by being surrounded by arms.Like infants of all species, they find it reassuring.As the other poster said, take it to a vet. You will likely need to treat it for some parasites (infant kittens tend to get worms, which causes a bloated belly), fleas need to be eliminated (they will bite you too), as well as possible ear mites, and even possible tapeworms.One thing that can help with the kitten in a box is to take an old fashioned mechanical clock, wind it up, wrap it in some polar fleece, and put it in the box. The kitten will tend to snuggle into the polar fleece, and because it reflects heat rather well will sleep in a small nest of it (so leave a corner out, or shape it into a bowl). The clock then provides a rhythmic sound that can lull the kitten to sleep. You can even have a litter tray in the box, some water, and some kitten food (helps to use twist ties to anchor the water and food bowls to the box).This way if the kitten wakes up hungry in the middle of the night (VERY likely), it can get some food, and learn to use the litter tray. This will allow you to get a good nights sleep, and the kitten will still be able to get food frequently.The kitten may miss the litter tray, but what you do is pick the stool up… and put it in the litter tray and lightly sprinkle litter over it. This will give the kitten the idea that it is where it should do its toilet business. Might take a couple of days though - even a week.Play with it frequently.
