This is actually very simple, because cats bark when they are hungry.
After keeping a cat for a period of time, you will find that cats usually don't like to bark (but they do have some words), and they usually ask you for something when they bark.
For example, you are hungry and thirsty, you want to go to the toilet but the litter box is not clean, or you want a hug. . .
Another obvious feature is that what cats generally want always barks near related things, for example, when they are hungry, they bark near the cat bowl, and you will know what is going on at a glance. After keeping a cat for a long time, there will naturally be a tacit understanding, and the cat's eyes and movements can understand its intentions.
If it is a kitten, you can put the cat food in a bowl and let it eat at will, instead of feeding it regularly every day like a cat. Cats don't eat much at a time, but they often eat many times a day. It is most convenient to eat by themselves.
When the cat is neutered, if it is found to be getting fatter, it is necessary to reduce feeding. If he is always in good shape, it is the easiest thing for him to have a buffet. Every day he sees that the cat bowl is almost empty, he will fill it up and change the water once a day, which is enough.
If you must judge whether the cat is hungry, you still have to listen to the sound. Hungry crying is urgent, which is different from other times.
