It sounds like your cat is experiencing some changes in behavior, such as increased meowing and appearing a bit lazy. These behaviors can sometimes be linked to a few different factors. Cats often meow more when they are seeking attention, feeling bored, or experiencing stress. Since your cat is also looking out the window a lot, she might be interested in something outside, like birds or other animals, which can be stimulating or frustrating if she can't reach them.

Here are a few things you can try at home:

1. **Enrichment**: Provide more interactive toys or play sessions to keep her engaged and mentally stimulated. Puzzle feeders or toys that mimic prey can be particularly effective.

2. **Window Perches**: Since she enjoys looking out the window, consider setting up a comfortable perch where she can safely watch the outside world. This can help satisfy her curiosity and reduce boredom.

3. **Routine**: Cats thrive on routine, so maintaining a consistent schedule for feeding, playtime, and other activities can help reduce stress and anxiety.

4. **Attention**: Spend some quality time with her, offering affection and attention, which might help reduce excessive meowing if it's attention-seeking behavior.

If these behaviors persist or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, it might be worth monitoring her condition for a few more days. If you have any further questions please ask us. Thank you.
