The reason I think he's hungry is he only does it when his dish is empty, and also while he's meowing he runs to his dish and looks at me.

Also I've spent all kinds of money on toys for him. He never plays with them. His favorite toys are straw wrappers, bread clips, strings, and other garbage stuff He's so weird. I'll try playing with him next him. I wish I could get another kitten right now I'm sure he'd love to have someone to play with. He used to try and play with Kiba all the time but she didn't like it. Clover (my dog) plays with him but that's mostly her pinning him and "mouthing". He doesn't seem to mind this, and sometimes plays a bit, but she's just too big for him.
