Help with cat. [View all]

Have the bugger for 14 years. About two weeks ago, started "yowling" ... 2 a.m., 3 a.m., various times throughout the night. Stops around 7:00.

If I get up and pet her, she's ok for about an hour or two. She does not go in my room.

I don't believe it is pain because she does not continue this in daytime.

Thoughts?
