Hi Sherry,
Thank you so much for your reply, and for following up. She is still sleeping on her cat tree every night, even with the AC going. During the day, she sleeps on the cat tree, in one of the closets, or at the top of the stairs. I haven't seen her go onto the bed other than jumping on it for a few minutes to meow for food! We're thinking of getting a cooling pad for her just in case. That's good to know that Raiden's sleeping spots are often weather-motivated too!
It's so funny that you mentioned Jackson Galaxy, as I had just watched a video of his that same day where he said the hardest part of training a cat to let you get some sleep is to not give into their meows! So after a few weeks of following more of Jackson's advice on getting her used to regular feeding times, she has calmed down in the mornings, or is at least letting us sleep until 6:30, 7:00ish instead of 5:00! I also got her a treat ball for times when she's being really insistent that I put a small handful of her regular dry food into, which keeps her occupied and gives her something to graze on. Overall though, she isn't being as loud or demanding as she was right when we got back, so I think you are onto something with her needing to settle back into us being home!
I also finally figured out how to upload images, so I thought I would post some pictures of Lyra so you can see the little boo! Thanks for your help!
