It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever. How do I get my cat to shut up

recently its started meowing its head off like it wants something only i don't know what it wants cause it has everything

it will meow at the door incessently till i let it in and then when i do it just goes on and on while its walking to its food

it shuts up long enough to eat then it just meows constantly. it doesnt always wanna go back out immediately (sometimes it does) it doesnt want pats its got good food and water and clean litter and a bed and toys which it has never ever cared about

eventually (sometimes right after eating a few bites of food) it will go to the front door and meow its head off till i let it out and only THEN does it shut up and stay quiet till it decides it wants in again

it will happily spend 10 hours outside lazing under the tree in complete silence doing nothig so im not thinking that its meowing is cause its sick or in pain its just as soon as it wants in and until it decides it wants out again its a constant meowing

additionally i tripped over it like 3 weeks ago by accident cause cats love walking around under your feat especially when your carrying shit and i accidentally stood on its paw and ever since then its acted like its terrified of me and goes and hides under the cupboard if i enter the room its food is in and it does that very scared meowing and hides as far from me as possible but as soon as it wants out it will stand by the door and meow and doesnt go and hide when i go to let it out but it still acts like its scared

i dunno how to get it to understand it was a complete accident and it has no reason to be scared of me and it doesnt seem to remember that ive never hurt it in the 12 years or so ive had it it just wants to make me feel like a monster

im really struggling here cause if i cant figure out how to get it to stop meowing non stop my landlords gonna make me find a new home and i dunno if thats even possible :(

my neighbors threatened me with violence over the noise my cat makes (thats another problem)
