My 6 yr old cat, out of the blue, has decided he wants outside. He was born at a local animal clinic and has never been outside, and he was neutered and declawed as soon as he was old enough. He has the most horrible loud meow and it is constant morning, noon, and night. I'm about to wring his neck.
There have been no changes in living quarters, food, litter box locations, etc. He has never been a lap kitty or lovable cat, but does like to play with a long piece of fabric on a stick. No matter how much attention we give him, he still goes around the house meowing. He is up to date with vaccinations and regular checkups. We have 2 other cats (he's grown up with them and does play with them) and they seem fine. Many of you may find this amusing, but it is very frustrating to us. It's driving us crazy!

I would suggest that you might find another home where he can go outside a lot if you cannot stand the noise. He could be part Maine Coon, and if so he can be very vocal.
If he is not sick, and he has been checked for ear mites, etc, then maybe he is just talking. Do you answer him? Maybe you could enrich his environment by providing him with more toys, boxes, places to jump up on and other things that might catch his interest. Blessings to you in whatever you decide.

Have you had him checked for worms or ear mites?

He could just be frustrated by living inside his whole life. He sounds like he could have some feral in him. Cats have feelings and wondering minds just like we humans do. Maybe he is really truly telling you that he wants to go outside.
Have you checked around the crawl space of your home?
He may be hearing or smelling an intruder-another cat, a rodent or other critter. Does he have a particular spot that he is in when he starts me-yowling? If yes, I'd start the search there.
Indoor cats who have never been outside will display the behaviours you are describing if something has moved into the crawl spaces, walls, attic, etc, and I think that may be what's going on with your cat. It's possible he is sensing other things, too, like the snap, crackle, pop of frayed wiring.
Depending on where you live, it is entirely possible a family of mice or other critter have taken up residence, or possibly a feral cat with kittens have moved in under your house. Or a bird. Or something. I'd check around the exterior of the home to see if he is trying to alert you to a problem.
Did he just get a vaccine? Could be damage. Need to check with homeopathic for repair. Soon as possible. Check adjuvents in vaccines and you will see why he probably has nerve damage. Vaccines include mercury (now called thimerisol) antifreeze, aluminum, aborted fetal cells, dirty blood and just plain ugly. They can kill (like what happened to my 3 month old step-grandson.
Much of their info has been written by doctors who have delved into the question. Hope your kitty can get some help soon so he can perhaps reverse this. No more vaccines or you may lose him. Reaction will be much stronger next time.
Some good ideas here, hopefully one of them may work for you. I have used a pheremone spray to calm my cats, usually when taking them to the Vet. It is called Comfort Zone with feliway. It is pricy, but it does work and is harmless for the cat. Your cat sounds like he is agitated about something.
My cat has been an indoor cat for probably all but 2 months of her 13 years. She does have a harness and leash, and once in a while I put them on her and take her outside. She loves to sniff every blade of grass, wallow in the dirt,etc. We stand in one spot a long time, and loud noises scare her. People look strange when I say I walk her sometimes on a leash, but she likes it. Unfortunately, I don't do it very often because it makes our outdoor,fenced in dog so exicited!
