My owner says I meow too much.
It's no secret that I love singing, but my owner thinks it may be too much. When my owner comes home after being out for a few hours, I meow and meow for 10-15 minutes, even after she pets me and says "hello". When my food dish is half-full, I meow loudly as if I am dying of starvation... even though it is half full. When my owner is sleeping at night, I come in and meow constantly, waking her up. If my owner just gets up to go to the bathroom at night, I assume she's awake, and can't keep quiet. She lives in a small apartment so she worries about neighbours complaining of a "noisy cat". I am neutered, by the way, so the problem is not me looking for ladies (however, for some reason, I still try to mate with the other cat, a spayed female, and bite her neck).

Hmmm...difficult question. I was going to say that your cat needs another cat for company, but I see that you already have two cats. (The mounting thing is common, and nothing to worry about, as long as the biting doesn't result in an actual wound.) Personally, I love chatty cats, but my present Maine Coons are mostly silent. Your worry is that your neighbors might complain about the noise, and also that Ray Charles (love his name!) wakes you up with his "singing." I honestly don't have an answer. Usually cats are quieter if they have another cat living with them--but not in your case. Ray meows even if he has food--so being foodless is not the cause. All I can say is that he is a very affectionate and needy cat--perhaps because he was a rescue and is handicapped. If your neighbors complain (aren't the walls thick enough in Canadian apartments for a cat's voice not to penetrate?), ignore them. As long as you're allowed cats in your apartment, you should be safe.
