Usually, a cat meowing is a way for that to tell you that something isn't right. It could be as simple as the cat needs to be cuddled, it could be hunger, or it could just as easily be pain. If it's something simple like food, feed it. Please bear in mind that some cats are just naturally vocal, and will often "talk" as a way of communicating with its owner.
If the cat seems to be meowing for no reason, you might either consider conducting a thorough topical exam of the cat, or head for the vet and see if there's a problem.
If this is new behavior, definitely consider a vet.

RossYou cannot physically stop a cat from purring as it is a natural and instinctual behavior. Cats purr when they are content, relaxed, or seeking comfort. If a cat is purring excessively and it is a concern, it's best to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.
In the wild, age. Feral adult cats don't meow much; it's more of a kitten thing, and seems to be an attention-getting device to let the mother cat know the kitten needs or wants something.
Pet cats seem to regard their humans as surrogate mothers, and meow for much the same reason that kittens do: I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I need attention.
Adult cats can occasionally be very loud. The call (which is usually described as a yowl, not a meow; based on the noises my cat makes I'd write it as "ha-WOOOO" or "HOWwww") seems to be intended to draw the attention of potential mates.
If its bed time tell the cat to shush. who nos it might wanna go to the great outdoora or its not felling well First of all you have to understand why is he meowing , is he hungry , sick, does he wants to go out? then you will know how to stop him. you have to understand that they meow to communicate and tell us something.
Adult cats in the wild don't vocalize much. The theory is that domestic adult cats retain this kitten-ish trait because they view their humans as surrogate mothers. So, if your cat is meowing, it probably wants something: food, water, a clean litterbox, or some other need that it thinks you can provide and it's trying to draw your attention to the matter.

What animal makes a purring sound?
All the cats do, domestic along with the big cats.
Do cats use their ordinary vocal cords for purring?
It turns out that cats have special wiring. The wiring travels from the brain to the muscles in the voice box, and this wiring is able to vibrate the muscles so that they act as a valve for air flowing past the voice box. The muscles work both during inhalation and exhalation, which creates the impression that cats can purr continuously. The air passes through the valve, which opens and closes rapidly to create the purring sound.
Why do cats bark?
Cats do not typically bark; it is not a vocalization they use. Barking is a characteristic sound associated with dogs, not cats. Cats are more likely to make meowing, purring, hissing, or growling sounds to communicate.
Does purring in cats burn calories?
Yes, purring in cats does burn calories, although the amount is relatively small. The act of purring requires muscle movement, specifically in the laryngeal muscles, which can contribute to a slight increase in energy expenditure. However, the caloric burn from purring is minimal compared to other physical activities cats engage in, such as playing or hunting.
How are cats affectionate?
Cats show affection through behaviors like purring, nudging, kneading, and head-butting. They may also follow you around, sit on your lap, or groom you. Each cat has its own unique ways of showing love and attachment.
