    In case you don't know, when text is written like that, it infers sarcasm. And whenever I post a video of either cat screaming into the air, people think I'm an awful person because we "obviously" leave them alone too much (or think we should get her another cat, without reading the name of the page, lol). Well, here Shorty is in all her screaming glory when we are both at home. She didn't do this when she was younger, and some have suggested maybe she's senile. Could be, but I and the vet think she just likes the sound of her own voice.
    So, anyway, I always love how Bryan holds her, and when she goes all limp like a ragdoll, haha. They're so sweet together. And if some people think we're bad cat guardians, then so be it. Our kitties know the truth.
    Peace and purrs out,
    Rob

      We found out the hard way. Our dearest friend had a cancerous tumor on his hard palate and every time he ate he would meow (scream) loudly.
      We found out very late what it meant when a lump appeared above his whisker pad. We operated but it was too far advanced and we lost him not long after.
      I still cannot forgive myself for not catching this as I can only imagine how much pain he was in toward the end.
      For a cat to scream they are in a really bad way. 😭
      Hopefully, on a lighter note, this is just Shorty feeling she wants some lovin' and attention and nothing serious as you have to note the context of the screaming.

    She is training you guys to cuddle her when she yells. I have had cats of all adult ages who randomly pick a resonant place in the house to howl at/into and amplify their shouting. I think you're right, they just like the sound of their own voices sometimes plus it *always* results in getting attention from the people in the area. Remember the old comics of Garfield or Heathcliff out caterwauling on the fence getting old boots thrown at them? Cats like to yodel sometimes and it does not automatically mean they are neglected. They're singing the song of their people!

    Anybody can see that this cat has trained you well and I was able to see most of those lessons.

    This is how my 17 year old baby acted towards the end. She had dementia 😢

    My Megsy boy used to do that when he got older. He was a bit senile and I'd always have to retrieve him from wherever he was yelling his head off. He was such a good boy, he was a stray I tamed and kept. I don't know if you know but strays make the best most loving pets once they know they are safe with you.

    Cats are just like that when they age. My grandpa's cat lived to around 20 i think, and in her last years she was almost always yelling for no reason most of the time. They get bored lol. It didn't help that my grandpa is also senile
