I’m cat sitting and she has learned she gets a treat when she comes back indoors. I thought I trained her to come back in when I called for her. I’m on the 3rd day of her screaming to be let out multiple times a day and minutes later is back at the door ready for her treat.

Qualifies as a miscatculation.

YOu will have to institute a new rule like no going back out for 30 minutes after you get in. Ignore the screams and she'll eventually stop. I had to do that even without the treat rule for one of my cats who would otherwise demand out and back in literally every 5 seconds for hundreds of times an hour for no particular reason other than perhaps to order me around. And he'd look at me each time like he couldn't believe I was such a sucker.

Or you can give up your treat rule. But basically you'll need to make a change to block her tactic.

“I do not accept these terms and wish to be let back in at your earliest convenience”
