My cat has a great appetite and never makes a noise other than happy chirps and purrs when he's eating in my presence, yet he yowls whenever he's left alone with food.
I had noticed this before in the mornings... since I feed him at 7am, I often go back to bed on the weekends. When I do so, he finishes eating and then yowls, and early on the noise would give me chills. As soon as he sees me, he stops. He's never done it in my presence.
My work has a hybrid work policy, so I spend the day at the office a few times per week. I have started setting up an alarm to check on him while he eats, since he has an automatic feeder that opens at 1pm, and I have a camera... and I've noticed that he yowls a few times then, too.
On Monday, he ate, then went inside my bathroom, yowled for a bit and walked out. Today, he yowled once while looking around and then stopped. I don't actually think he's in any kind of discomfort, but the behavior intrigues me. My parents are convinced he does it because he's calling for me - evidenced by the fact that, when he does it in the morning, he stops as soon as he sees me. I think they might be right, but I'm wondering what you guys think. Do your cats do this, too?
