Buddy is almost 3. Due to get neutered Iin a few weeks. Moved to love with me a few months ago. I also have another unneutered male, his littermate Jasper.
Buddy meows quite frequently. At first I had wondered if it was due to feeding. I had noticed he was often licking his bowl and sitting by it. Vet advised upping food so I did that and he doesn't seem food as much, but he still meows.
It doesn't appear to be the sound of him wanting to mate. When he meows, he mostly focuses on a door in my house, the door to the hallway. I am visually impaired so I usually keep the door shut. They have tried to run out the door before and are not microchipped to this new address yet so I am wary of letting them access to the hall I know if they tried to get out, I wouldn't see them in time to prevent them from doing so.
But buddy is obsessed with the door. He scratches at it and meows at it constantly. Usually I wait until he is quiet and distract him and sometimes he's quite happy to sit on or by me, other times, he goes right back to it. I thought he just wanted to explore or something so I let them in the hall but they just meowed there too. I'm not sure what they want. Jasper does it to a lesser degree, but still does it. It's stopping me from sleeping and I have neighbors directly through the wall so I'm cautious of disturbing them. Mostly though, I just want to figure out what he wants.
Should I just let him have access to the hall? I'm mainly just concerned about them getting outside but If it would make him happy, I'll do it.
I apologise if I've made any typos. Tia
