When I first brought Scooter in a few years ago -- he was at that time around 10 months old, still a little on the feral side with most people, and FIV+ -- he drove me nuts for the first couple of nights. Around 3 or 4 am he would start running from window to window crying and looking for a way out. I eventually figured it out -- I always fed him and a few other stray and feral cats on the front porch in the morning around 5:30 a.m. He knew it was almost breakfast time and was trying to find a way to get out there so he wouldn't miss a meal. Once he figured out that the real action was in the kitchen around 5:15 a.m. he stopped worrying so much about the front porch. You need to figure out what this cat is talking about, who he is calling or what he thinks he's going to have to do without. He obviously likes the woman who adopted him. If the food is better and more plentiful, the accomodations comfy and the company good, he should be quite happy. So what does he think is lost?

Is there any chance that there are male or female cats outside that hang around? I thought Dixie was being a pain until I detected the odor of cat spray on the outside of the house. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
