Cats meow and paw for attention because they are social animals that seek interaction and affection from their owners. Your cat may be trying to communicate with you or simply seeking your company and affection.
Common signs of cat attention-seeking behavior include meowing excessively, rubbing against you, following you around, and pawing at you. To effectively manage this behavior, provide regular playtime and attention, establish a routine, ignore attention-seeking behaviors when they occur, and provide enrichment activities such as toys and scratching posts.

1) The cat spends a lot of time begging for your attention in various ways. It may be constantly in your lap, meowing, pawing at you, etc. Some cats are needier than others but it's pretty obvious when they are. 2) If ignored, the cat will sulk in a very human way and will misbehave. Having accidents outside the litterbox is a classic feline passive-aggressive trick. There's not a lot to be done about a clingy cat, since this stuff tends to be learned in kittenhood, so just be aware of how much attention you are able to give. If you can't meet the cat's needs, you may have to find it another home. Though you might be the cat's whole life right now, once it bonds to a new person, it will move its neediness there and more or less forget about you.
