[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all, sorry I'm slow to respond. I thought I had it figured out at 5 am the first night when he went crazy for drinking out of a plastic bowl vs his water fountain. I gave him a big bowl of water and he settled down and was good the next night.

Then he started back up. Then I thought I might have it with him hating his prescription cat food, and set out a plate of his old food for him. Helped but the yowling came back about 3:30 am.

Last couple nights he has fired up the yowling at random times and not only in front of the shower.

We havr a vet appointment later today. Full blood panel and exam. If they don't find anything I'll ask for some anti anxiety meds. Would be great if it's simply adjusting his thyroid meds (he has been stable for about 2 years but I know it's notoriously tricky). I have a suspicion it is something else. I think his stool and possibly urine output are down. :-/

He's totally normal other than this. Runs, jumps, purrs, never once gone outside his box, etc. -- hoping it's not his time. When we found the thyroid issue 3 years ago, we took him in to do the radioactive treatment, but they found a very large lung mass, assumed to be cancer. They told us he likely didn't have long to live with a mass that large, so we didn't do the radioactive treatment. Well 3 years later, here we are. We did another xray recently and it has grown a little bit, but not much and not encroaching on ability to breath or eat. Likely has been a slow growing mass there a loooooong time, and we'd never know if it wasn't for the screening for the radioactive treatment. I guess I've had my head around the lung tumor getting him for so long, it's hard to think about possible kidney issues, etc. [/quote]
