I think Ann's theory sounds most likely - something's frightened her when it's been dark and it's stuck with her. I watched a programme about dog psychology once and this dog was afraid to go into a certain bedroom - it turned out that there was a fish tank in this particular room and sometimes it makes funny noises, anyway they reckon that the dog was in there once and the tank made a funny noise and made her jump - that was enough, just one silly incident, to make her scared of this room. I'm sure it would be the same for a cat? Is there something new in the room or a new noise? They do pick the strangest things to be scared of sometimes - I have a dog that's practically scared of his own shadow! lol Kaye x

She is my baby for sure. She lost her twin, but that was 5 years ago. Nope, she had the op, so not in season.

Had a siamese that started to behave funny if it thought it was on its own, walked round wailing. Took it to the vet, checked it out, couldn't find anything wrong. Cat lost weight and continued to wail, went back to vet, finaly decided cat was missing company (had just lost our old nieghbour (human)) and cat was feeling insecure. Stayed very clingy after that. Burmese maybe sensitive as well. Jules

She's not 'in season' is she?

Perhaps she has had a scare when it was dark Donna. get a night light that you plug into an ordinary socket, usually used for children. They take very little electricity and the light is muted. Ann Glos

Even if she sleeps on the bed with me, she wails. Driving me mad!

She might feel lonely when the light is off. Keep leaving it on, and you won't get woken up all the time :)

I have a burmese, noisy anyway, but in the last few months, soon as i get into bed, she starts wailing, soon as i talk to her, she shuts up. I have been leaving the hall light on....yes i know, mad, but she doesnt wail when its on. Donna
