Ran the aircon in bursts.
Midnight serenades
Melbcat sang the song of her people through the night. I’d get up, carry her back to bed and make her cuddle which would settle her down. But a few times she’d get up and do it again. It’s weird because she always used to be near silent. I’m wondering if it’s because she’s getting older, maybe becoming a little confused and frustrated or doesn’t know what she wants. It also still could be demands for beef.
I’m going to rest a little bit and then empty the litterboxes, take out the bins, and stack dishes to make a start on the kitchen.
Old cats do tend to get noisier
Mine didn't. Her turning silent was one of the dementia symptoms we didn't spot initially.
