Why does my cat make a higher meow noise before lunging and biting my arm?

[Anonymous]

I made my outdoor cat indoors on December 29th. He’s been doing so well inside and everything seemed to be going perfect. But this past week he’s been making a different meow sound and trying to go for my arm to bite me. Even if I try to pet him sometimes to. He just went to the vet 3 days ago and he has ear mites and a possible UTI. I thought maybe it could be from pain, but this past day he’s tried to bite and go for my arm more. I didn’t get my question answered when I went to the vet and they are closed today, so I can’t call until Monday now. Anyone have any idea if it could be from pain or if he wants outside?

He’s never meowed to go outside before so I didn’t think he would start now since it’s been almost a month of him inside. I’m just confused and would love advice.

Cats only meow to humans, never other cats so he definitely trying to tell you something. Usually excited or frustrated Without seeing body language its hard to tell.
I suggest looking at what he's doing with his ears, the direction indicates his mood. There's plenty of online picture guides that'll help.

Did you check to make sure your pet is neutered? If it’s mating season, they might get aggressive.

He isn’t neutered! So I definitely need to look into that. Thank you so much

Your cat is angry with you and wants to go outside. Its natural for cats to want that.

He’s been inside for a month so I don’t know why he would just now be showing signs of anger from that. I’ll be calling the vet Monday so if they think that as well, then I’ll let him back out if they think it’s best.

Sounds good.
