My cat keeps meowing at the front door

She's an indoor cat and she just won't stop meowing at my front door and the patio door. I've no idea how to get her to stop, and I'm not getting any sleep at night anymore.

    Hi, I'm a vet student. This meowing could be down to boredom, stress, a need for attention, or being in heat if your female cat hasn't been spayed.
    Start by planning a proper play session in the evening, followed by a meal, and enrich her environment with hiding spots, high perches, and puzzle feeders.
    Avoid opening doors or responding to her when she meows, as this can unintentionally reinforce the behaviour, but whatever you do, don't punish her.
    Close the blinds or curtains if she’s reacting to animals outside, and reward her when she stays calm away from the doors.
    If this behaviour is recent, intense, or linked to other changes, a trip to the vet is necessary to rule out any pain or illness.

    Kind regards,

    Romane
