It seems every cat I have ever owned has a broken Meow..lol. It's quite pathetic to hear. If you can hear it. Sometimes it looks like he's trying to meow but nothing comes out..

So does your cat(s) have a loud meow or a soft dainty meow?

Mister is a talker and he does it loudly, you can hear it outside with the windows closed

darling Scampi Marie squeaks like a mouse.
The others are in between.

Bean is a complainer, he's always following me around meowing about something. Usually it's a soft meow, but he sure can turn up the volume if it's something that he really wants.

Quill has a loud, trilling chirp more than a meow. He can throw it across the house if he wants to.

JC had a raspy meow. Scratch usually trills but when she meows at the kitten it's soft. The kitten has a high-pitched kitten meow.

We had to go with some soft, some loud because just one makes me jump when he meows, every time. It's somewhat alarming, the intial sound very high-pitched and anxious. When I first adopted him, he had me jumping outta my shoes when he meowed, which was often, and his purr was just as loud sounding like a whole race track of cars. Finally, I realized he was just nervous settling into his new home. As he relaxed, all the sounds lessened. His meow is now seldom but still makes me jump.

Three of them you can barely hear when they meow.

This bruiser, Big Louie with legs like a linebacker, stays separated because he fights. He meows like a little girl.

Sash alternates between very loud and soft. When his meow is soft, I think he sounds like a duck.
I just love, love, love to hear my boy meow.

Boomer rarely meowed, but he seems to have found his voice and have quite a high pitched yet deep and loud meow.
Bumper blurbs rather than meows, and Scully just squeaks.
Magnum, it really depends what mood he is in and what he wants, it will vary from a low whine to a high pitched annoying meow

On the west side of... of... somewhere.
Jack is barely anything... he really doesn't talk much... he gets this mrw when he REALLY wants something, and he chirps when he gets excited/wacko.

JoJo, on the other hand, is very vocal. Her meows are everything from deafening to squeaks, when she's being all cute and feminine...

I choose all four because all of my girls have different meows- there's no mistaking Jasmine's meows and her torti-tude.....lol...she's a rotten little siamese
/ Isabella is my little princess- she has very soft, sweet little meow as does Abilene. Velvet is somewhere in between- she get's REALLY loud if there's tuna anywhere around her and she wants it

Harriet either has the best or worst meow ever.

She is never below 6 db and it sounds like she's been smoking for 30 years. Priceless. I love it, but I could see how it may be... uhh... annoying.

Tailer has a loud meow. Harvey has a soft one. Forest has a VERY loud, high-pitched MEEWWWW! He still sounds like a kitten, but much, much louder.
