Trivia: Cats don't make meow sounds through their mouths but through their noses. Try it yourself.
To put the problem into proportion. The cat doesn't meow when taking naps. It doesn't meow for up to 5 minutes while cuddling in your arms... until you try to get one of those razor sharp hooked appliances out of your anatomy. It doesn't meow too much when it's head is in the dogs mouth. That about sums it up. The rest of the time, about 14 hours a day, it's making meow sounds. From soft plaintive curiously poking around looking for trouble to 'I saw a bird outside!' mega raucous chorused back fence sex fest serenades -> meeeeOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWYOOOWWWWWs. Unrelenting. Unstopping and unstoppable. Constant. Continuous. Oh, it does pause the meows when sitting on your lap. A moment of rigidity and a few seconds of silence as she cranks out an olfactory mind numbing rancid rotten fish fart.
There is absolutely nothing it this fiends itinerary that does not include this feline commentary. Right now I hear the dog has started ignoring the cat by the short abrupt meows. Those are the demands for the white hot spot light I want to be entertained NOW meows. Not quite plaintive ones. The truly plaintive meows are reserved for when she is going poop. The going pee meows are completely different.
In case the reader hasn't come up to speed yet, this person is close to going round the bleeding pipe from the meowing. Let it out or the meows become positively thunderous when trying to get to sleep. If outside, they take on a shrill tenor that easily penetrates the brick and concrete walls. Lock it downstairs it uses the bathroom as an echo chamber and acoustic amplification device. Let it roam upstairs it complains bitterly that there aren't any more geckos to eat.
And, as mentioned, cats meow out their noses. Taping it's mouth shut won't help. So, before I encase it's head in a hermetically sealed object, an operation that I think would lend itself well to the use of epoxy putty, does anybody have some suggestion as to how to get a cat to quiet down? Anyone? ANYTHING!
