Cat is driving me crackers - help!

We moved house last week and one of my two cats (she's 7) is driving me absolutely nuts as she will not. stop. meowing. They've both always been incredibly vocal anyway but this is much worse than usual. Other than that she seems totally fine and is eating, cuddling, purring, seems confident exploring and so on. We moved from a small flat to a house so she has a lot more space. We have plugged in a feliway and ensured she has plenty of spaces to hide and so on but she's just SO chatty and can't seem to sit still and be quiet.

Any tips?

She's feeling vulnerable and confused. She's been plonked in new surroundings and has a big job ahead of her to make this space her own. She'll soon settle, just keep talking to her and make sure she has a place(s) to hide away. She's meowing at you to let you know she's confused. I wonder if she's interested in going outside? Not suggesting you let her off so soon, but maybe pop out with her if your garden's secure.

She's making her feelings known!

Both girls are FIV+ so they are indoor only.

She is pawing at the walls and yowling as if there is a door there. She isn't bright Grin. The other one is looking at her like Hmm

Try confining her to one room with her familiar objects. Maybe too many changes and more space is too much for her.

Try some play sessions to tire her out

Tried one room and she went batshit and started scratching all the carpets and the door.

Zylkene capsules in her food and beaphur calming drop on on her neck.

You’ve just got to ride this one out. Movings very hard on them.

Poor thing. I'm sure she's just adjusting to the move. She should be ok in time.

She's just tried to jump into a wall Confused

We've gone from 500sq feet of space to 1400 sq feet of space so it must be an adjustment for her!
