sumi, all are altered and older to boot.
The breeder apparently never factored the possibility that the woman might ever get married to someone with pets. But yeah, not much with the sense-making.
I thought about the 'singing the blues' aspect because the cat is in a new house, but apparently the screeching happened before the move and is somehow getting worse...which 'worse' might just mean 'isn't stopping.'
I'm kind of nervous about this because I never professed to cat wrangling and the woman seems to be quite high strung.
She demanded that the fellow 'get training' for the dog...who isn't the problem...before allowing them to move in, but did not bother to come to the session despite my strongly encouraging that she do so. She is 'pleased' with the pooch's progress and, therefore, trusts me enough to let me come to the house, but she's now demanding I 'fix' the cat problem.
I'd hate for her to dismiss my efforts so that the dog ends up suffering.

My guesses in no particular order
- bender
- breakdown
- rehab
Cats can be clicker trained.
It's the Siamese that's yowling?
I bet you could help her out with that. I believe Karen Pryor has a book on the topic.
No, it's the Calico that is yowling. I suspect the man just never bothered to be fussed by it, but now that the woman is bothered, he's bothered. "If Mama ain't happy. Ain't nobody happy." is my guess.
My guess is "something is very very wrong".
Hmm, did he do something to piss off the Scientologists?
I'm pretty sure the last night-time screeching cat I knew was old and arthritic and deaf -- so in pain and not hearing herself.
"Have you ever seen somebody working on a fence and takes a hammer and hit their thumb and go "Awww... Buddha!" You ever see them do that? How many hit a gold ball like I hit a golf ball and they go "Ohhh... Mohammed!" Why do they call that name? You know what they do? They go "Jesus Christ!" "Jesus Christ!" Why do they call that name? Because I believe when a person gets hurt or they get angry, they wanna blame who? They want to blame God.
So what does it mean if I hit my thumb with a hammer and shout "Motherfucker!"?
Yeah, in the least demand a very complete and current vet checkup as a condition of your involvement! (Better yet, make it a vet who specializes in cats.)
I'm wondering about that too. Will ask about age and health status for the cat. I have a sinking feeling it will have to be rehomed. Which is sad.
eta: Good point by you Theo. I'll do that.

That sounds like something one of the Greek gods would do.
