    He's starting the validation process in order to have his hunger adopted by you, and you adopted by him. Stay nice, there's 20 years of friendship and broken stuff ahead!

    You need to sit on the porch while he eats. Then reach out to pet him. He runs, but comes back for the food. Continue and eventually he won't be afraid of you. I recommend doing this soon. Sitting on the porch at 3am in the winter is not as much fun.

    I have the same with my female feral I call "Piper!" I have cameras with sound so she gets up to set the camera off and when I look, she meows really loud for her food! I've been feeding her for over a year and a half and even put out a "cat hideout" for winter. It's only been a few weeks now that I can actually pet her and hold her. I just can't bring her in because one of my other very large females would blow a gasket! The other two and the dog wouldn't mind. And I'm not sure she'd be happy except maybe in winter. 20240609_2...f39659.jpg 20240609_203534-66b46dbf39659.jpg

    We had a Bob. We named him Oliver. He must have had his own servant at one point because he was rather polite. Every night around 5 he would show up for food. We are convinced we are part of an animal underground system. And never have we turned away a hungry, injured or sick animal, for which I am proud, Currently we have a Bob, but our Bob is a squirrel, He currently has his own food bowl attached to a fence. It was made by our contractor. Maybe you could write a childrens book about Bob.

    The reason why cats act out is likely similar to when a human does: it’s likely a physical issue. As certified animal behaviorist Dr. Mikel Delgado said in an interview with Slate, their sudden attitude change could be driven by hunger. 

    However, Dr. Delgado also recommends a vet visit because there could be an underlying issue like hyperthyroidism. Some symptoms come in the form of erratic behavior changes.

    “You’ll see the cat get ramped up,” she explained. “Suddenly, they’re a pain in the butt, and they start meowing at night. They’re more active—they’re running around.”

    If the vet gives your cat a clean bill of health, Dr. Delgado says it may just be bored and require some form of stimulation. Just like humans, cats act out because of boredom

    In this case, Dr. Delgado recommends ramping up exercise routines, adding food puzzles, and increasing clicker training. This will allow your pets to learn to receive rewards for good behavior.

    However, giving your feline friend too much attention can backfire on you. As Dr. Delgado explained, any reaction form of response to a behavior could come off as an affirmation. 

    “Licking the plate is already rewarding, and then you’re adding the human attention, so it’s like double rewarding,” she explained, adding that handling such situations calmly is the best approach.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Research has shown that cats are just as affectionate with humans as dogs are. However, experts agree that their actions sometimes don’t match their feelings.

    A purring cat may indicate happiness, but according to University of Georgia veterinary professor Sharon Cromwell-Davis, it could be a sign that it needs care. 

    Meows also mean they are trying to interact with humans. As anthrozoologist Dr. John Bradshaw explained, domesticated cats, in particular, have learned to use it as a communication tool since they don’t meow at fellow felines.

    Ultimately, it’s about learning to read your beloved cat. Cat expert and writer Franny Syufy takes care of eight felines and advises taking mental notes, if necessary. 

    “Pay attention to body language, vocalizations, time of day, and what your cat just did,” Syufy wrote in an article for Spruce Pets. “With time and careful observation, you’ll likely begin to piece together the triggers of your cat’s craziness in various situations.”

    Back when my daughter was a baby, and I was breastfeeding, I used to get very thirsty during the night so I kept a glass of water by the bed. I could never work out why the water level was always lower than I expected it to be. Was I suffering sleep-deprivation memory loss? Then I woke up one night to hear a mysterious sloshing noise on the bedside table...

    My friend had a mostly feral cat. He was a stray who gradually moved indoors. He would tolerate my friend, as long as she understood the rules - dont pick him up, don't cuddle him, and you may pet approximately 3 pets when providing food (or something like that). Well, he needed to go to the vet. Friend had warned vet that he was feral, so they were prepared. Friend borrowed welding gloves that came up to her elbows. She took a deep breath, grabbed the cat and shoved him into a carrier. Hmmm. That was too easy..... Got to the vet. Staff is wearing their flame resistant Kevlar body suits. They carefully pull the cat from the carrier and - he's perfectly calm. Looks around. Doesn't fight, doesn't make a sound. Friend looks at vet, and he's giving her the side-eye. THIS is your wild cat?
