honestly the only thing I can come up with is that this is a Lassie-like cat, trying to call you somewhere so you can save the owners, and then being frustrated because you didn't follow. anything else doesn't make sense.
That’s exactly what i was thinking — I’ve had adopted cats who acted like this until they were well-adjusted (mostly), but one or two others who definitely wanted me to follow them. Just like with dogs, sometimes just a step or two in their direction will give you the answer — if you’re right, they’ll immediately turn and start leading, then look back to make sure you understand and are following. So amazing.
Nope he's not new. He was found abandoned when he was little by a neighbour and now it's a semi-house cat, but still showing up to say hi every now and then! Haha
I had a random cat start yelling at my front door out of the blue. A very sweet and giant black cat who had a collar and was definitely a house cat. He didn't look underfed but I gave him some food anyway as I'm pretty familiar with the cats that run around this area and I didn't recognize this guy and was wondering what his deal was. After weeks of searching for his owner after he didn't leave from under my house, I was able to find out his owners abandoned him because he didn't get along with their new dog. So they left this guy out on the street for weeks in the middle of winter. I have since taken him into my home and he now has a warm and comfy place to live 😊.
