It meows incredibly loudly—all kinds of crying. Lately it starts around 5–6 a.m. every day at that same time. Scolding does no good; it keeps crying even while being punished or with its mouth held shut; otherwise it just strings together all sorts of wailing sounds.
Common reasons a cat cries at night include being in heat, hunger, thirst, or feeling cold. Check the food and water bowls; if empty, offer some and see if it stops. Also keep it warm. If those are ruled out, consider heat or discomfort, and if you don't plan to breed it, spaying or neutering is an option.
