Serious question for ethologists / biologists / behaviouralists here: what is the name for those vocalisations ? (prolonged simultaneaous meowing at a distance, probably territorial)
I'd love to know more about it.

Advice might be found in the videos of
Jackson Galaxy, e.g. "bored cat".
Also, instead of simply putting the food in a bowl in front of him, make him hunt for it, like hiding all dry food morsels in the apartment.
Searching for food is a fulltime job for a free-roaming cat outside ... We take that away from our pets, which can result in boredom.
Search "foraging toys for cats", too.
Is your cat avoiding their Christmas pressies? This might be why... #catbehaviour

While we've been away our cat has been looking after our daughter - she's moved into our house as a respite from the hospital.
Kit the new Cat seems to have had a personality transplant - she's sleeping on the bed with our daughter, and demanding a fuss at random times in the night; she's also eating her food as soon as it goes down.
For us - she leaves her food for hours, and refuses to engage with us in the bedroom (but sleeps on the floor next to my wife).
It's very strange, and quite intriguing!
I need help with my kitties from the wonerful kitty owners here, because I really don't want to have to rehome one of them :)
I have 2 kitties, both indoor cats. Harleyqueen is elderly and a rescue we got 5 years ago. She is sweet, gentle, and just wants a chilled life. The other is Prince, 2 years old, who we got as a kitten as company for Harleyqueen. They bonded immediately and have been really close since, however lately Prince has been attacking her and biting her legs and neck, a lot. Sometimes he's playing and other times he is trying to assert dominance (theyve both been 'done' so its not a sex thing). Harleyqueen hates it and has become quite nervous and always hiding from him.
He is otherwise very loving and so adorable, and we love them both so much, but this is not fair on Harleyqueen :(
Got him a cat wheel to try and burn off some energy, and he loves it, and also make sure we spend a lot of time playing with him eg lazer pointers and feather chasers etc. But he will still attack her and ive had to shut him out the main living area to give Harleyqueen a break sometimes.
Any ideas?? 😭
Recent events support this hypothesis.

"A 2022 study by #animalbehaviour researcher Charlotte de Mouzon and colleagues found that #cats could distinguish between speech addressed to them and speech addressed to adult humans. This pattern of discrimination was particularly strong when the speech came from the cats’ owners."
