Good topic, wish I'd thought of it.

Talkers: Tanada, Qui Gun Kit, Meow Meow

Occasionally chatty: Pine Cone, Sonya, Merlin, Huey (he's the one who
likes to get in my face at 2 am and yowl),

Rare if ever meowers: QC, Miss Calico Girl

However MCG is our first kitty who has frequent loud rumbly purrs

O. T. is a talker, that is why I always start his posts with "hihi diz iz O.
T.. He never, day or night enters a room without announcing himself.
Granddaughter says it is to scare the gremlins away. He talks day and night
about food, water, wanting something...everything. Willow seldom does
anything but purrs. Mz Piglet rumbles first visit in the morning and when I
have ice cream. Thats all I hear of her.

Cinnamon and Abby talk more than Samwise. They all have something to say
when I'm getting there food ready.

Cinnamon and Abby will talk to me when they want attention or to go out on
the enclosed porches. I can usually tell which of the girls is talking
even if I'm not in the room with them but, not always.

The other day I had just fed the cats and they were in seperate rooms.(
They are seperated when they eat) with doors closed . I was in the
livingroom with Cinnamon and heard Abby in the kitchen. She sounded just
like Cinnamon. I had to be sure what cat was in the room with me.

Both my guys. I always know who's talking. Stinky meows when he sees me,
makes a gurgling sound when he wants to wake me up in the morning, and
swaggers around the house bellowing, regularly. He will also ocasionally
come right up to my mom or me and "read us the riot act" as we call it.
Dante has a chirpy little voice, and meows at me as soon as he sees me. He
frequently makes a "NYOW-WOW?" sound.

Aggie Marble and Victor Velcro only talk when they want something or to
tell me they are displeased about something I have done or not done for
them.

Four on the other hand is a chatter box. He has a deep voice with a
narrow range of variations. He just talks up a storm. Is a talking cat an
offshoot of socialization when the cat was a kitten or a trait of the
individual cat?


FWIW, I always figured my guys got here, and sized the situation up, and saw
that you'd better speak right up around here, and so they did.

Mistletoe only talks to tell us she wants something. There are not
necessarily any clue as to what she wants, but she *wants it now*.

One thing we can count on is for Missy to tell us when it's bedtime.
She sits outside our bedroom door and meows insistently until we either
get up from the living room or tell her "not tonight, it's the weekend".

Mine sound very different; Miranda has a loud and demanding voice, and
also a lot of different sounds (she even yodels), while Caliban has a
tiny little peep that I mostly hear only when he wants food (am
listening to it right now, as he is begging for his breakfast).

Neither of them holds conversations with me, like Frank used to do. But
like Frank, Caliban always keeps up a steady flow of complaint when he
is in the carrier.

Mischief and Mayhem are the talkers here. Mischief will whine for
attention and I'll even carry on conversations with her. Mayhem is a
chatterbox whenever i get out of the shower and whenever I climb into
bed. And BOTH of them are quite vocal in the morning when they are
demanding breakfast.

Imp is the silent type, but every once in a blue moon I'll hear a meow
that I don't recognize and it's got to be him. But the numbers of
meows I've heard out of him I can count on one hand.

Dunzi is a talker when she gets going she can go on for quite a while but
Sarsi keeps conversations to a minimum and short!

Dunzi makes the most peculiar range of meeps and whistles but Sarsi has a
harsher voice.

Our all time top conversationalist was Isis(RB) who would even talk to
herself! She'd walk past you and you could hear her muttering under her
breath. She could keep up a conversation for hours and she was loud with it,
we used to say "Speak up a little, Issi they can't quite hear you in
Birmingham!"

Her sister Fugazi (Also alas RB) hardly ever spoke but we reckoned that was
because at a very early age she'd learnt that she couldn't get a word in!

None of the present clowder are big talkers but will respond when talked
to. Bandit used to complain every time I stuck a camera in her face.


One amendment to that - Ozzy. Ozzy
luuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeesssssss ssss Sammy, but is
(understandably) afraid of her - hey, she's big and scary looking to him
even if he is 12 pounds of muscle and she is 20 pounds of wuss. So whenever
he comes into a room with her he starts "mrrp-ing" at her with an
inquisitive rising tone at the end. It's almost like he's sweet talking her
and saying both, "Hi, I love you" and "Please don't hurt me" all at the same
time. ;

Hugs,

Every cat we've had has been different. Some a bit more...mmm...
DIFferent than others....Probably best if I restrict it to the currently
living ones or it will get really long.

Fearless is mostly quiet, except at breakfast (being such an Old Boy,
and mostly toothless at this point, he gets gooshy food for breakfast
and He Knows It!) Then we mrrrps and does this sort of whiny meow. He
also announces a kill with a slightly less whiny meow noise.

Princess, who LOOKS siamese, is a very quiet cat. Rarely meows. Very
very occasionally meeps, especially if she thinks you are going to pick
her up. (She does not like to be picked up.)

Smokey spent most of her life being called the Duck Cat because she
kinda quacks. But not often.

Jezebel tends to mrrrp but mostly only when she wants on a lap (which is
"usually") and you're not picking up her other clues.

Cinder talks a fair amount when she's feeling needy (with this
rising-inflection mmeoooooowwwwww? mmeeeooooooowww?). Otherwise she,too,
is pretty quiet.

Miss Bitty Kitty is QUITE vocal, especially when wanting scritchies,
pettins and other attention. She is also the one who will try to trip me
(and my mobility issues make that DANgerous! I get cranky when she does
that). Very loud meezer-like meOW! meOW! meOW!

Neither Shane nor Emma talk much, although Shane has vocalized when he's
caught something (cf the ground squirrel incident).
