Meow Me!

So I come back home after about 19 days abroad to find out that my cat can't stop meowing.  I go fast to the computer to find some advice from specialists. It's just the middle of a Summer afternoon. That kind of time that cats usually are sleeping. Not my Juju.

 Juju was born in Israel in July 2004, found in a cardboard box  when she was still about 6 days old. Besides cuddling with us in the bed, meowing is one of her favorite activities. Sometimes she's so loud that my human sons and I start meowing right after her, repeating her exact variations over meows, something we call "meow therapy".  I am guessing this time, after 25 uninterrupted minutes of all sorts of meowing tones that she wants something I am clueless about. In despair I almost call the wonderful petsitter who cared for her and the white king Dada while we were away.
She wasn't hurt, or in pain. Not hungry, as she despised her favorite snack - a tablespoon of the smelliest tuna based canned food.  I go and check on this list here why the little miss can't stop meowing. She doesn't seem bored, anxious or stuck with a nasty fur ball. She's not indicating that she wants to get out of the house.

So, I am finally enlightened. I find the box with the cat's brushes. Maybe she just wants to be groomed.

Bingo!!!

She enjoyed being brushed by all the 4 different types of brush I have. Then, slowly blinking her amber eyes she finally relaxed and went for her nap on  the window perch. And the silence of a fulfilled cat is all I could hear.

Do you have a story about obsessive meowing to share with us?
