My cat won't stop meowing at night. What natural remedies work?

Question

Is there anything natural i can give my cat so she will keep quiet through the night and if so, where can i get it? She constantly holleres. She used to be a barn cat that lived outdoors, till i took her home 3 yrs ago n had to make her a indoor only. She doesnt holler during day or at window at night, just when she sees me go to bed, if the other 3 are up she may quiet down for a little while. My vet prescribed nasal decongestants once that i dont want . Believe shes fixed,vet says cant tell. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | 6 years and 10 months old | 15 lbs

If Misty hasn't gone into heat in 3 years, then she is likely fixed. Cats are naturally more active at night so you are going against her natural instincts: https://www.petcoach.co/article/cat-awake-at-night-limiting-nocturnal-activity-in-cats/ There are a few things you can try however. Try enriching the environment. Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Use a Feliway diffuser, set aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play (really get her moving) and/or switch the food to Royal Canin Calm. Try feeding her out of a food puzzle. Hide food for her to find. Provide a stand or resting place by a window so she can look outside. You may also try clicker training her for positive behavior. Here is a link about training cats: https://www.petcoach.co/article/can-i-train-my-cat/ Most cats response best to combination therapy. The veterinarian can also prescribe medications which can help to sedate her. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
