Rather opposite to the above, try containing her in a room with the light on.

She could be deaf or going deaf (any age) and the deaf cat howl is well known. We have one who does this at night, she is not completely deaf.

You say she gets lots of brushing, pets, attention and talks but you don't mention PLAY. Try playing her out in the daytime so she will sleep at night. I mean active physical pplay like chasing a string around all the rooms in your house to get the energy out. NOt just before bed, play revs them up and will keep her from relaxing, do it during the day.

Good luck. We know that howl, it's awful.
Cats are nocturnal and I was wondering if the cat was allowed out at night to hunt. I knew a cat that would not stop howling when she was heat and her owner would let her outside to shut the cat up. That would interesting if the cat was going deaf, she would have no idea how loud she was. I know if I am not wearing my HA I will talk louder . Get the cat a HA and see if that help! LOL!
