Vocalisation. Yes, as previously mentioned, some cats in pain (particularly severe, sudden pain) will cry out or howl. If you see this, take them to the vet immediately to have them checked out, even if you can't see anything else wrong with them.
Resist the urge to shout at her or give her any form of attention, even angry attention. Instead, be patient and wait for a brief moment of silence. Immediately give her the attention she craves. If she starts to meow again, walk away, and only return to her when she's quiet.
Cats Will Sometimes Cry Because of Illness or Pain
Sometimes a cat will be crying because something hurts or they are feeling sick. Kidney issues, thyroid problems, dental issues, and a world of other diseases and medical conditions can cause a cat to cry excessively.
If your cat is in a significant amount of pain to the point where she is crying or yowling, or otherwise making vocalizations that are abnormal for her, then this means something is seriously wrong. Cats who are yowling in pain need to be seen by an emergency vet immediately.

Illness or injuries can often lead to sadness and depression. Pain, nausea, hormonal imbalances, or lack of energy accompanying illnesses can affect your cat's happiness level. If you suspect a health condition is behind your furry friend's sadness, you should visit your vet as soon as possible.
Cats' eyes will "tear" or water for a number of reasons, but they are all medical, not emotional. For instance, it may be due to eye irritation from a speck of dust or a scratch from another cat. Tears might also be caused by contagious diseases such as upper respiratory infections.
Frequent Meowing
Your cat can't tell you where it hurts but can communicate with you by vocalizing. If your pet meows more often than normal, pain may be the reason. Cats in pain may also hiss or growl, particularly if you happen to touch a painful area. Purring doesn't always mean that your cat is happy.
“Cats can definitely sense when you are sad because they are highly attuned to your normal behaviors and moods, and if there is a change, they sense it,” Dr. Wooten told The Dodo.
Cats meow at night for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes, they want a treat. At other times, your cat may need you to replenish their food or water. More often than not, they're meowing just because they're lonely and want to play — even when their people are fast asleep.
It appears that cats can sense human moods as well as depression. Cats are observant and intuitive, and this allows them to understand emotional cues from humans. So when you are depressed, they can sense that too. In particular, cats may come in closer proximity when their fur parents are depressed.
Poor mood and temperament; increased irritability. Vocalisation e.g. frequent unpleasant or urgent sounding meowing, groaning, hissing, growling. When in pain, your cat may actively or passively avoid being handled by either moving away from people or behaving aggressively when approached or touched.
You can use ice packs, a cold towel, or even a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel on your cat's injury for 10 – 20 minutes at a time. If your cat is suffering from chronic pain or a long-term injury, heat therapy will be more effective.
Reasons For Cat Eye Watering
If your cat's eyes are watering it likely means that the eye is attempting to fight off some form of health threat such as a virus or a foreign body. In many cases, the cause is minor and will clear up without veterinary care.
Cats alter their behavior when they mourn much like people do: They may become depressed and listless. They may have a decreased appetite and decline to play. They may sleep more than usual and move more slowly, sulking around.
Your cat might meow at night because they feel bored, unstimulated, lonely or just want to go outside. If your cat won't stop crying at night even when they have plenty of play time, other causes to consider are thyroid or kidney disease.
Generally, female cats (or queens) make baby cries at night when they are in heat i.e. when the queens are fertile and ready to mate. The sound made in the mating season is a long howl or moan, similar to that of a crying baby.
Conclusion. Most cats don't understand that kisses from humans are a sign of affection. A cat will surely let you know if they enjoy being kissed or not. The best ways to show your cat that you love them are to give them toys, treats, and plenty of one-on-one time.
All in all, even the most aloof and brooding cat will be able to pick up on your warmth and devotion. Whether they choose to admit it or not, they can sense when a person loves them (and hates them). So always make sure you're emitting good, kitty-positive vibes, and your cat will be sure to indulge in the lovefest.
Can cats cry tears? The short answer is yes, cats' tear ducts function the same way humans' tear ducts do, but they don't cry emotional tears from sadness or pain.
The bond between a cat and their caregiver can be very strong, and therefore cats sometimes become upset when left alone. Vocalization or excessive meowing might occur when your cat is confined to a room and cannot get to you. In more severe cases, your cat may be suffering from separation anxiety when left alone.
