    He  can probably smell  a female cat that is ready to mate .and is 'calling' to her.

    Take him to the vet and ask for a thyroid check, do it urgently as this can affect his heart. In my experience this has/ can be the cause of the constant talking to you.

    Since it for one month each year it is unlikely to be a medical issue.

    If you haven't taken him to a vet for a check, it might be a good idea, just to put your mind at rest. Probably a good idea to take him during his meowing phase, too.

  • My cat did this, go through phases over their whole life.

    Definitely wasnt medical because as they got old there was blood tests. Lived to 21.

    I feel your pain!

    Same here with our 12 year old neutered tom.  Sometimes he's more vocal than others, but always had a clean bill of health so far.  He can be really annoying meowing when he wants ...
