What did this cat want?

There are two black cats hanging out near my dorm but they're really afraid of people and absolutely refuse to go near them.

Today was different though.

I left the dorm to smoke and almost got a heart attack because a cat that was identical to my cat was standing on the door step. It wasn't him though, he's 200km away with my family.

I'll admit, I started treating him like he's my cat, Theodore, and leaned to give him a pet but he ran away. But then he did something surprising.

He started looking at me and meowing. I asked him "why are you yelling?" and came closer. And again, he got further, looked back at me and meowed. Like he wanted to lead me somewhere.

I thought "maybe it's a mother cat trying to show her babies to a human?" and followed him for a bit until he disappeared.

After I couldn't find him I just started minding my own business until he appeared again and kept yelling.

So I tried to follow him again but he just hid under a car so I left him alone. Now he wanders somewhere nearby but isn't meowing anymore.

I don't know what his problem is. I don't think he'd want to show off his babies to a stranger if he was actually a "she" with kittens. He's also clearly well fed and can hunt so I don't think he'd be desperate enough to ask random people for food..

He also wasn't aggressive or too frightened by my presence. He just didn't want to be pet which I respected after I got turned down the first time I tried.
