My kitty is about 2 yrs old when I got her she was pregnant I let her have her kittens and found them good homes and had momma cat spayed, but now that's all she does is meow and want to go outside. I want her to be an indoor cat ( she was when before I got her) and I would like her to be a little quieter HELP

How old were the kittens when you gave them away? How long has it been since you gave them away? She just may be missing her kittens, and that will pass with time.

I would have to agree with one of the other responders and say that once a cat gets used to going out doors it is very hard to get them to enjoy being an indoor cat. I have 4 cats. All indoor. One of them likes to run out the door and roll around on the concrete until I pick him up but other than that, they never want to go out. They do however meow when it is time to be fed. I swear they have internal time clocks. I would consider getting another cat. Either a kitten our a young cat about the same age as yours or a little younger. That way your cat will have a play mate. Will also keep you cat busy while you are at work or away from home. I do not recommend out door cats but if it takes letting the cat out then you may have to. The down sides to this are a shorter life due to predators and vehicles and they hunt and kill a lot of wild life. If you do let the cat out please make sure you have a collar with a name tag and a bell so unsuspecting animals can have a better chance. May also consider chipping your cat in case the collar gets struck on something.

Once a cat has been an outdoor cat it is hard to keep it happy as a prisoner. I have both indoor and outdoor cats, but the indoor cats have always been indoor cats and don't want to go out any further than the front porch and for no more than a minute or two. Some indoor cats just want to be able to go outside no matter what and unless they have a really bad experience outdoors, they may always want to get out. If you have a friend with a big mean dog, have them bring it over and park it outside the door and show your cat that some Not Good Things live outside.

Try distracting your cat with cat toys like feather teasers and the like when he starts to meow and meow. Play with it for at least ten minutes before you walk away to do your own thing. And when the cat "parks" beside the door meowing to be let out, dissuade it from the behavior by squirting water at it with a water gun (a short burs from an aerosol can was very helpful with my 1-yr old kitty - sprayed up in the air, not at him! - the noise it mkes freaks him).

The problem is that kitty's seem to have a mind of there own. I've never managed any more than box training and get down training. Once the get a taste of playing out doors they don't want to give it up.

indoor cats.

you should let her go outside and you could go out there to check up on her and not let her out for a long time.

I THINK YOUR KITTY IS EITHER LONELY FOR ANOTHER KITTY, OR SHE'S BORED. MAYBE IF YOU GET SOME TOYS AND PLAY WITH HER IT WILL HELP!
