I think that pic is too small
Bites, sounds like when my Lilbro was little and he’d come up to you and say “I’m bored, entertain me!” Just a different language.
I concur with olives, my Burmese *Poppy * often does the same. Once I’d refurnished the food, water and litter facilities, checked for unseen injuries and she was still complaining, I initially freaked out that there was some sort hidden feline requirement I was leaving unmet. However having gone through the motions with her ad infinitum I have realised that she just likes the sound of her own bloody voice. And if it prompts me to follow her round tending to her every wish and whim and lavishing her with affection, that is, after all, what the slaves are for. I think I’m meant to consider myself lucky to tend to the Queen of the Universe anyway. 
I got that too, at first.
Now I rest assurred that there are MANY feline requirements I have not met.
I got my cat Fezzik to stop doing it by simply exclaiming that, “I see you!”
Then he’s happy and runs the circuit of the house looking for his sister.
Perhaps that’s what the mewing is about, cat speak for
‘Oy, you just can’t get good help these days!’
I have a cat, Misty, who will yowl and cry like she wants you to pet her-then when you walk towards her, she runs away.
My late beloved Fluffy also used to make noises like she was in pain, or having a hairball, and then when you’d come running, she’d take off.
Cats have a weird sense of humor.
Cats really aren’t all that different than people
I’m voting for the acoustics.
We moved into our current house in 1993 and it has a full basement. Our former home was a small one story cottage. When Noodle(RIP) got wind of the big ass basement he went down there and wailed like he was James Brown preforming at a sorority mixer. We were a little horrified at first then realized he liked hearing the echo of his meows. Of course this stopped after a couple years.
Another one of my cats, also male, liked to sit in the shower (not when anyone was in it) and meow in the corner. Nothing was wrong with him, my vet assured me of that. He just liked to do it. Not so much fun for Mom and Dad when we were trying to sleep. Again, he outgrew it.
Cats are just flaky, he will probably outgrow it.
:eek:
I have to object most fervently to this outrageous characterisation. We are privileged to be offered an ever-changing target in order to achieve the satisfaction of our feline masters and are most grateful for this gift.
Forgive her mistress she knows not what she says.
I humbly apologize and what I meant to say was people are flaky and once our cat overlords decide we are worthy the universe will be at peace.
Much more like it! You’ll probably need to bow and scrap a bit extra later but hopefully that’ll get you a pass! 
Welcome to the boards, Trisha, and bad luck that you had to follow one of my posts. That’s a guarantee it will sink like the Titanic.
Thanks Abby, not to worry - I can swim!
My Bernie is a very vocal cat. Always has been. If something is “off” - like I move the furniture around, I will hear about it for days.
When I go to bed she follows me around - doors locked, lights off, &c. She follows me into my bedroom and everything. Ten minutes later she’ll be wandering around the house meowing loudly until I say her name. Then she’ll run into my room and chirp - like she’s confirming I’m there. She’ll hop onto the bed and settle down.
She also meows at doors and down the stairs. Personally, I think she’s a little senile - she’s 17. She likes things in their place and any disruption of that confuses her.
My cat Smokie did go deaf and have associated yowling but he didn’t start yowling until his hearing was almost gone. Plus right after I moved he stopped completely and he’s just as deaf as he ever was. So I wouldn’t say there’s a direct correlation between deafness and yowling.
Redirection was somewhat helpful – if he was yowling I would pick him up and put him in the bed or other cozy soft place, pet im for a bit and then he’d settle down.
I tried the Feliway with no change in behavior. I tried watergunning him, and I would literally empty the gun 3-4 times in a night with no change in behavior. Redirection worked the best of what I tried.
My Orson never used to do this, but he was diagnosed with kidney failure and now he gets so much more attention than he used to that I think it’s made him greedy. If he isn’t being petted and praised EVERY MINUTE then he’ll complain. “Look at me! Pay attention! It’s been three seconds since you praised me or said my naaaaaaaaaaaame!”
Rubicante does this, too. He goes in the shower of my very small pad. The shower is pretty much the direct center of the house, so it is very loud with lots of nice reverb. I have no idea why he does it, I just call him a few times and he comes running to me. Weirdo. The other two talk to me, but Cante is the only yowler.
Cats are inexplicable. They often have habits that we don’t understand, and often change those habits with no warning. I have one cat who for years begged at the tap in the bathtub. Then one day he stopped. End of habit. Another cat suddenly must crawl between two baskets on top of a dresser and crouch there, purring with her ears back. She didn’t do this the first 5 years the baskets were there. Recently she’s stopped sitting in a sort of bizarre head-lower-than-butt posture draped down the stairs. The cat sitting next to me is kneading my pants leg. She did not touch me in any way until about two years ago. I’ve had several cats who show up when whistled for, but only if it’s a waltz.
One of my cats will occasionally yowl and look up when she has the urge to jump up somewhere a little too high for her, like the top shelf of the closet. She will also do this on rare occasions when she is called to inspect the garage.
I had to teach my younger cat to meow and now I can’t shut her up. But they always have a purpose. If one of them meows from another room they’re looking for some attention from the other.
Nobody mentioned the cat might be looking for some cat-house action. That can get loud.
