He have been sitting at weird places like stairs, corner of the room Facing the wall!, corners of living room, or just random places where i believe is not comfortable for him. can u please tell me why he is behaving in that way?

2) I understand that when cat hunt, they keep quiet, hold themselve in a low pounce ready position. however, my cat makes a sound that resemble eak eak eak eak. while moving its mouth. it happnes whenever he see birds.. or insects . can u please tell me why is that. thanks

Answer
Hello Chris,

What may seem uncomfortable to you and me is sometimes appearantly very comfortable to the cat.  Having many cats in my home at any given time I am constantly wondering 'How on earth can you sleep in that position?!'

The noises he is making is because the instinct to 'hunt' the birds and insects stimulates him.  I've had many cats do the same it is quite normal.
