My cat won't stop meowing at the door at 4am || My cat has started this new thing where she sits at my bedroom door and meows constantly starting at 4am. I've tried ignoring her, feeding her before bed, even playing with her to tire her out. Nothing works. I'm exhausted and she seems perfectly happy during the day. I don't know what she wants.
That sounds rough. Start with a vet check to rule out pain or a bathroom issue. If the vet is all clear you may be dealing with a sleep habit that got stuck.
Shift the routine so she is tired before bed. Do a long play session then a small late snack and quiet time. A tired cat sleeps better at night.
Make the bedroom less inviting at night. Dim lights set a calm tone and use a white noise machine. Try a quiet cue when she meows and reward when she stays quiet.
