Over the past three years of fostering little kittens I have noticed that some cats have a strong meow and some seem to not have much of a meow.
So I was just wondering what you all think?

Radar still has a kitten miaow. He doesn't talk that much. I don't think he's realised that he can get my attention by miaowing, and that it's really not necessary to dig his claws into my leg when he wants something!

All mine have very different meows. Easy has a soft quite meow that is a mix between a purr and a meow. Laura has a very dainty girly meow. Kiko has a crying meow that can be loud and can be just under his breath, whimpering kind of way (and he meows A LOT). Tino's is very drawn out and long. And Ducky's meow is a combination of a chirp and a meow and he also uses his meow very frequently.

I can be in another room and hear one of them and know exactly who it is.

My girls meow differently depending on what they want. If they want wet food they both meow very loudly with a demanding tone. If they just want attenton Phantom has a tiny meow they you can barely hear and Phenom has more of a chirp!

Hermes- also a triller
Orion- haven't heard him make a sound
Pandora- she's kinda of a chirper
Gaia- basically a normal meow

Bijou is a fellow of few words
but when he does deign to speak it is very manly Siamese. Mika on the other hand was born with a voice defect and has no meow at all. She is only able to make little "huffing" noises to get our attention and it is so darn cute that she can have anything she asks for. She has John totally wrapped around her little paw with her little huff voice.

When I have conversations with Scratch, she has a high pitched chirp. Other than that, she trills most of the time.

Jasmine- well, she's Siamese- i'll leave it at that
she will go "MMMMMMMEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW".....over and over again at the top of her lungs whenever the mood strikes her
she's very talkative- it's adorable

Isabella- she is usually pretty quiet- she chirps a bit and sort of squeaks like a kitten- it's cute!

Velvet- she'll stretch her little legs out to touch my arm or leg and then go "meow" once or twice to get my attention

Abilene- she's soo funny- she'll meow like a little kitten, but attack you like a pit bull if you cross her (she's my little feral girl)

Up to my eyeballs in Thomas the Tank Engine undies
Daisy has a very loud meow, she almost sounds like she's lost and looking for us
Lucy had a high pitch meow and usually only talks when she's getting a treat or when she's jumping down from somewhere. Annabelle isn't much of a talker at all. She usually just chirps at the birds and that's it.
