Question

Skunk
For the last month or so my four year old cat, Skunk, has begun meowing incessantly, sometimes for an hour or more at a time.  Usually she does it by the door.  I can't get her to understand that she is NOT GOING OUT!  She is fixed so she's not in heat.  I try to play with her and love on her, but she's making me NUTS!  It's like having a baby that won't stop crying!  HELP!!!!!

Answer
Hi Amanda

You don't say how long you have had Skunk but I am wondering if she has know the outside world before she came to you?  Anyway that is not a good reason to let her out if you wish her to be an indoor cat.

My suggestion is that she may need a friend so wonder if you are in a position to take on another kitten/cat to keep her company?

I can give answers on cat breeding and showing having 'served' over 30 years in this particular field.

Genetics however is not my strong point.
