He'll meow, and meow, and meow, until we walk downstairs with him, and pet him by his food. Is this kind of behavior normal in cats? He's part siamese, and I heard they're noisy, does that have something to do with it?
I'm not really worried about it, 'cause it's actually kinda cute, but I am curious to hear what other people think.

Wow I thought our cat was nuts! She does the exact same thing. We'll be upstairs watching TV and she would constantly meow til we go downstairs with her. Plenty of fresh food and water and she'll start eating in front of us. Not a clue but my wife says her cats "shared" their "catch" with her by bringing the mouse to her feet then start eating it. The wife says it means they love and depend on you. Maybe the basement scares cats?

Cats are typically picky eaters and want food fresh from the bag/can. He is probably meowing because the food in his dish isn't to his liking. Try putting very small amounts of food in his bowl so that there is never any food getting "old." Also, cats are pack animals sort-to-speak. He could just be showing you his "catch" as to prove his worth in the "pack."

My cats don't do that. However, even though they have dry food out all the time, I have noticed that they prefer to eat in pairs or groups.
Maybe your cat hates to eat alone as much as some people do. Maybe your cat would be happier with a buddy.

Some cats like to show their food as a gift of sorts. If they catch a mouse alot of times they will bring it into the house and leave it there for you.

My mother's cats meow til she goes to their food dishes and watches them eat. They also want the kibble put out in small amts and won't eat it if it's out for awhile. Each time they meow at their dish, she must put out more food. My first cat ate canned food. He'd make me go with him to his dish and wouldn't eat til I stirred it up each time. Are we owned by our cats, or what?!

in a way, he is probably sharing his food with you. you are his family.
i had a cat that would always catch birds, alive and unhurt (surprisingly enough); that he would bring to me almost every day. it got to a point to where i would take the bird and let it go on the other side of the house, just so i would not hurt my cat's pride in bringing his catch to me. very funny really, i miss that cat. he definitely was part of my family

haha. my aunt had the same problem with her cat. He would meow until she came to see what he catched (which was a mouse or bird). That just means he loves you and showing you what they catched. He was real close to her and real close to my grandma. He was a very loving cat to them.

Sounds like he just wants some attention to me, cats usually meow whenthey want something and hs verbally communicating to you. Whenyou get to know all her body language's and vocalizations, you'll be better able to know what she wants.
But it just sounds like she wants some T.L.C.

my cats wake me up at 5:30 every morning just to get fed and they wont let up until i feed them. your kitty is OK and it is very cute that he wants you by his side like that...sounds like you are loved and he sounds sweet.

He wants more food. Even if there's food in the dish, he wants something put in it.
