hello, newbie here. I've tried searching but came up with nothing. 
Our cat Patches was given to my mom and family by my oldest sister who was going overseas and couldn't take the poor kitty with her. Well, Patches has stayed with us since she was 1 and a half, she is now going on to 5 and is a part of the family There's no way my sister is getting her back now! lol
One thing about this cat that I have never experienced with any of my others is that at night she constantly [and I mean CONSTANTLY] meows and scratches on everything. She's done this over the past 3 or 4 years and we have no idea what she wants!
We tried getting up and getting her food and water, but she just goes back to scratching and meowing. We tried to leave all our doors open so she could go as she pleases but she then she'll scratch on the window sill. We've tried putting her in her kennel at night, but she is not too fond of small spaces and freaks. We've also tried to put her on her leash at night and that helped a little, but that didn't resolve the meowing.
It's driving my family mad. We're not going to get rid of her, obviously, she's too much apart of the family now, but we have no idea what to do next.
so my question is, has anybody on here had a cat that does this? and what did you do to resolve it?
many, many thanks.
