Two times:
1. In the morning at about 7:00 am. This is about when I get up, but still it is annoying. He doesn't want to be petted, and it isn't hunger (I have an automatic feeder.)
2. In the evening about 8:00 or 9:00 pm. He'll stand in front of his water bowl, paw on the carpet in front of it, and yowl. There's plenty of water in it, and it is fresh because I usually will have refilled it not that long before.
Sometimes when he yowls it is a signal that he wants to be petted or played with, but these two times it is something different, as if I do try to pet or cuddle him then he will resist it. (Also, why when he wants a lap fix will he often stand next to my chair and yowl rather than just jump up? It isn't that he can't boost his fat little hiney up, because he can--he just prefers, apparently, to be picked up.)
