Our 18 year old cat is driving us to distraction. She miaows in the middle of the night loudly, and wakes DH and I up, and sometimes our poorly sleeping 2.10yo DS. We are shattered anyway (from DS's night-time activities), and really not sure what to do about the cat.
The latest thing is that while we had the christmas tree up, she was drinking from the bowl of water it was standing in (she has her own water in another room, where it has been for years btw). Since we took down the tree, she has been miaowing loudly several times during the night. She doesn't come to find us, just stays downstairs miaowing at full blast. We have tried showing her her water bowl, and she has drunk from it, but she is still doing this.
DH has put a stair gate at the bottom of the stairs to at least confine her to miaowing downstairs, rather than by the bedrooms, which means she's less likely to wake up DS (still wakes us though!).
Has anybody else had a similar experience and can offer any suggestions?
