If you use "she", it's a female cat (she-cat, queen), isn't it?
Could you say: "it's wanting in.", if you don't know the sex of the cat.

"My native speaker" will be back in six hours or so. If nobody else comes up with a good answer, I hope to supply it.

You can use <she> if you want to personify the cat.

The word <in> here probably isn't an adverb, but a preposition. In formal English, you can't end a sentence with a preposition, but in informal English, you can.

In a sentence like <Come on>, the word <on> looks like a preposition, but it's really an adverb.
