18. My perfectly healthy older cat

did that sometimes. It was usually at night or in the early morning hours. I could never figure out what triggered it, but it was almost like she was in a trance when she did it. She would just stand there with a blank stare and yowl. If I went to her and touched her (she was deaf) she would stop and not continue. She lived to be over 20 years old before she had a stroke due to high blood pressure.

I don't think it's pain either. Is she Siamese or part Siamese? Mine was, and her yowl was really something to hear.
