Ignoring your cat's meowing is a common technique to discourage unwanted behavior, as long as their needs are met (food, water, health). They may initially meow more, but over time, they should learn that meowing doesn’t get attention. Consistency is key. If you eventually respond after a period of ignoring, it can reinforce the behavior, making the meowing worse. Make sure to also provide enrichment and affection at other times to keep them comfortable and happy.
