True Ending 2 Confusion
Can someone please help me break down Leopard Cat's actions in this ending?

He says that he comes to Liao's apartment to see him one last time despite knowing that he'll probably be killed by the other two cats. So is he suicidal at this point? I didn't get that vibe because he was taunting them and clearly doesn't care about killing Shu Chi. Would he have just left if Liao/Likulau hadn't found him?

And then what does Lin Hu actually do to Leopard Cat that keeps him in check?
Why does he go along with living Shu-Chi's life when he just attacked Liao two minutes ago?

I've been over this ending in the Clean and Limited Versions but I still can't wrap my head around it all. Maybe it's the translation.

To answer your questions in order:

Leopard Cat likely comes back to Liao's apartment because he feels like he has been cornered as Liao has uncovered his whole plot and has Clouded Leopard's ability to track him so I would assume that he feels there is no point in running so he decides to go to confront Liao and the other with his plan being, either he manages to kill Liao and eat his energy or he dies anyways but its not like he wasn't facing that threat anyways since Hypos is hunting him as well from what we know in the final scene.

Leopard Cat not just would have left but already did by the time Liao decided to use Clouded Leopard to find him because its not like Leopard Cat had a choice since he is being hunted by the police type guardians like Hypos and that Leopard Cat wants to continue eating human souls to gain more power since that is his nature. Ex We see that different Yaogai eat different substances Leopard Cat eats souls and Randolph eats human emotion.

Lin Hu "purified" Leopard Cat by giving him Positive Chi to balance out the Negative Chi that all the Yaogai are innately composed of, this made Leopard Cat into a half god/half Yaogai type being which is mentioned by Randolph as being an Orthodox God. Along with that Leopard Cat is also bound to Lin Hu because of this transfer of energy.

Leopard Cat goes along with this because the other alternatives are not very promising and we do see that he geniuninemy grows to like Liao and wants to repent for his past actions

Hoped this helped and sorry the long winded explanations.
In the attack the Cloulded Leopard missed the attack. I think at this point he Leopard Cat knew Liao didn't want kill him. So he back.
In the game you had to spend a lot of time with the Leopard Cat , so maybe could be expect that he still wanted eat Liao because his love for him?
I mean the Leopard cat was evil so he wanted to eat memories of Liao, because we end madly in love for him.
So when he become a good god because the tiger power, his evil need of eat gone?

Just thinkful about it.

Leopard Cat near end very harshly tells Liao that he was just putting up an act so that Liao would fall for him and let his guard down but Leopard Cat comes to realize after Liao possessed by Lin Hi does the purification, that Leopard Cat really does love Liao and wants to be his boyfriend so he can make up for all the trouble he caused.

But yes you are right, Leopard Cat doesn't need to eat souls anymore after becoming a good god because as long as Lin Hu is around some of Lin Hu's Chi energy is shared to Leopard Cat so that he does not hunger anymore.
