I'm looking after my daughter's cat while she's at University. <groan>

She sits at the screen door and doesn't do a pretty miaow, she does this nasty "MIAOW GRRRRR Where have you been, GRRRRR?"

She's in bed now of course. I'm awake. Moment I go to bed she will awake.

Scratches the doors. Scratches the carpets. Cries like a baby. It's winter here. She was always an indoor at night cat. Now she's wanting to go out in the cold. What's with that?
She wakes me about 3 times a night on average to go out into the dark and cold.
.
This is not on. I worry about her so much in my sleep I wake up thinking I can hear her calling and she's not there when I get up to check on her.

Suggestions welcome.

(no good suggesting I put her in a room and lock her in because this place is very tiny)
