Cats are creatures of habit and can be quite sensitive to changes, even if it’s just a short trip away. The increased meowing and restlessness are likely signs that she's adjusting back to her normal routine and might be a bit stressed. These behaviors should decrease as she acclimates back to her familiar environment. Make sure her home setting is comfortable and engaging, and give her some extra attention to help ease her back into routine.
