Abandonment and meows

My family and I have been letting Simba's mother outside (we usually don't). Simba loves his mom a lot. He lays with her all the time and cleans her. Well when she came inside after being outside for a couple days, she was a whole different cat. I don't understand why but she is aggressive towards Simba. I wanted to cry seeing how Simba reacted. He went up to his mom and she hissed at him. He stood there and slowly got closer to her. She attacked him and he let out a little meow, like a cry. I never have known for a mother cat that turned on her babies. Just the other day she was nursing him. This situation makes me think of how sad it is when human beings experience this.

Everyday Simba tries to get close to his mom, but she continues to show aggression towards him. He refuses to attack her back. 

While I was in the bathroom getting ready for school, Simba got up on my bathroom counter, sat there staring at me, and kept meowing. I tried to ignore him but he was so persistent. He is usually not like this. I thought maybe he is acting this way because of his mother abandoning him. He is very affectionate towards me. He follows me around and has to be with me all the time now. It frustrates me that I cant understand his meows.

I wonder what a cats meows mean. I wounder what cats try to tell humans when they meow. So I researched it. A cat leaves a scent message on a human and when a cat notices that the human is not picking it up, the cat will meow. They meow because the cat knows they can get a human to do what they want. Cats don't meow at each other except for their mother, but mostly to humans. There are different meows and they each have a different meaning. A pleasant meow is them wanting food, to go outside, or to get attention. When a cat has a more unpleasant. harsh, or loud sound is for demands or annoyance. Cat will figure out which meow will get them what they want. (The meanings behind the meows)

I understand more about a meow of a cat. Simba uses a short meows a lot. I'm sure he wants attention, or food. He likes food a lot and a lot of attention. I understand my little fluff ball a lot more now.
