Hello. I'm new here. Our cat's name is Garfield. Here's a picture of him
He's a 13-week old orange tabby, we adopted him from a nice woman who rescued him. We've had him since August 3 now
At first he was super shy and we gave him some time to warm up and get used to the bathroom
Then we gave it some attention and he started eating
Two nights ago he started constantly meowing, with breaks in between
Yesterday we spent lots of quality time with him (he only acknowledge him when he is quiet). He wasn't comfortable yet leaving the bathroom (let alone running around and playing)
Last night, around 2:30am, he found his way into our bedroom (it was closed, but not shut completely) and meowed in front of our bed for about an hour until I couldn't ignore him anymore (that's what we're supposed to do, right?). As soon as I got out of bed, he ran out of the room, back into the bathroom, and I closed the bedroom door. He later woke me up again around 4am by meowing loudly and I'm not a fan of this at all.
Here's an audio clip of him a few minutes ago. He's been meowing all day, very different than the first 24-48 hours he was with us.

He still meows often. Constantly. I'm aware that it is supposed to take time to train him to be quiet. But it's the meowing and waking us up in the middle of the night that I'm most worried about. We fed him, gave him water, and played around with him for a few hours before going to bed. Do yall have any advice so that all parties involved can get our beauty sleep?
Thank you in advance.
