About a year and a half ago, I adopted a Maine Coon from the local shelter.
First of all, I must say he is the most well-behaved cat I have ever owned. He never jumps up where he doesn't belong (probably an account of his size) and always does his business in the box.
When I first got him, he would sometimes cry at night, which was understandable considering his previous living conditions and who knows what they were before that.
It's been over a year now and while the nighttime wailing is gone, he is still very vocal. He often wanders into another room and lets out a loud, mournful meow. Like a frightened parent, I will run to the other room to discover him just sitting there in the room looking at me or hiding behind the TV just staring at the corner.
Is there something he wants from me? Are these signs of something else? Or is he just messing with me?
