Is there a way to sedate her at night? Or keep her awake during the day
so that her sleep cycle kicks in when yours does?

If so, it is probably not medical. Does she dislike the vacuum? If so, put a vacuum next to your bed for a few nights. Rig it up to plug in to start. If she begins to yowl, turn it on and then off. If she makes the association, she should stop. Another suggestion, get earplugs. Karen |

You should have your cat checked to see if she is hyperthyroid. I know
you said your income is limited, but it needs to be ruled out. Maybe a friend/family member will help you with a loan. Having a credit card set aside to use just for vet bills would probably be a good idea so you have an option if faced with an emergency. Yowling is a classic symptom of hyperthyroid and your cat is in the age range for developing this disease. The fact that it is getting worse makes me suspect that that is what is going on. If she does have it it can be controlled with medication. Also, throwing shoes at your cat and squirting her won't help and is mean.
