Why does my cat whine a lot?

my cat wines a lot a night why is that

he/she's lonely. that's what my cat does.

is it a boy or girl cat?
has it been neutured?
is it lonely or wanting your attention?

I have 2 cats and sometimes I have no idea why they call out.

if it's a female, she is most likely in heat

Hello how old is your cat and what breed? It is most likely a female and she is most likely in heat. If your cat is a female and around 6 mos of age this is most likely your problem.

You need to get her nutered or she will get out and she will find a male. The breast cancer thing mentioned above I have never heard of. But the kitten factor is a for sure.

If your cat is a male. I would say there is a female around that is in heat and this will call the same reaction. If this is the case you should hear another cat meowing some where.

I don't know
but my cat wines a lot so I give him milk to make him stop

they are lonely or looking for a mate!!!

the cat is lonely it needs someone. like if you put it in yor bed then it won't wine. or maybe it is scared of the dark

I have a ragdoll cat and she whines a lot too! Its only when shes in a room alone or when her and I are going to bed and its dark she whines really loud until I call her name, then she gets on the bed and continues to do it until I start petting her. I dont get it either. She also whines as soon as I leave my house. My sister says she will do it for hours after I leave. Id like to know why shes doing it.
