Trout only talks when she wants to play, or right when she wakes up from a nap..or when I get home from work.

Any other time, she is completely silent, but when those events happen, she doesn't shutup for like an hour
Its very cute when she talks

my only talkers are Pandora nd Poseidon, Pandy will meow meow meow meow, but Posey, oh my goodness, when I first got him I thought I was going to have to get earplugs
he does an excellent impressino of an alley cat, the shrieking meow, you know, the eardrum piercing kind
everyone else is basically silent, Cybele will squeak at me occasionally, Antigone chirps, and Circe will meow, but that's really only if they want to get my attention

Phenom isn't so talky but Phantom chatters nonstop. Actually she and I had quite the conversation this morning as I was putting on my make up. She is upset that I am going to Dublin tomorrow for my St.Patty's day ride and she isn't allowed to go.

Whitey is the chatterbox of the group.

He's hilarious at too...he doesn't like to be left alone, but sometimes he'll walk away and then start meowing.

On the weekends if Patches can't wake me up for food, he'll come in. I should record it sometime and post it here...he's literally saying "Meom! Meom!"

Patches is second...but she just cries. If I'm not finished getting ready by 6:30 am (which I never am) she stands by the bathroom door, crying for food.

Lucy will kind meow/howl when she wants to go to the basement.

But Carly...she is always talking especially when we go into the kitchen. When I'm feeding her, it sounds like I'm stepping on her.
It is really cute when she says hello with one of those purr meows to hubby when he walks in the room . Carly also tells us about how much fun she is having while she plays (usually 2-3 am). She talks to us when we first wake up.

Quill is a relatively quiet boy. He'll RRRRRRRRR! alot though, especially when he wants to play. At night though, holy, that's another side to him all together! He mews loudly, RRRRRR!s, pounds around the house like a herd of elephants, all the while RRRRRRRRR!ing his little heart out!
He likes to hear himself too, but when I'm in bed and he's downstairs sometimes we'll have a conversation. He'll do his loud mew and I'll call him, and eventually he'll be at my door sitting there. He often asks if he can come in with a little chirp or two, it's so cute! Sometimes in the night he will wake me up by coming into my room chirping and RRRR!ing and trilling. He then perches on the corner of my bed and RRRRR!s until I wake up and give him a skritch. When he's asleep he'll often chirp when I give him a cuddle, you know, one of those sleepy ones.

Misty talks when she is hungry or esp. when she wants a treat/snack. Other than that she's pretty quiet, she is a 14 year old DSH. She does snore a lot tho, during the night I actually have to push her a little to stop the snoring, just like a man
she is not very ladylike

Ginger "talks" to me with the Brrrrrrr? sound when she greets me or passes by me. She has a special high-pitched half-meow ("Aow?") that she uses to either ask to play with the laser toy or to have some catnip (I love that she always asks nicely
.) And she "chirrups" at birds and bugs.
Ginger always speaks with a purpose.


Ferris, on the other hand, talks almost non-stop, which I never would have expected coming from a semi-feral. He walks around the house making almost continual BrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrrrRRRRrrrrrrr noises to himself, or to me, or to Ginger. But when he wants food or a treat, he meows LOUDLY at me, and looks at me very pointedly, basically saying, "I want ____ and I want it NOW."


Sometimes he meows at me for no apparent reason, and then he refuses to answer when I ask him what he wants.

Kitty is VERY talkative and it drives me mad first thing in the morning! It takes me about 10mins to get up and do his breakfast and he whines and whinges continuesly? the whole time. The more I tell him to be quiet, the more he whinges. He has to have the last word every time.

The best time though is 'cuddle time' in the evening when I lay on the sofa and he comes and sits with his face a few inches from mine and does a gentle meow with slow blinks

Zoey never shuts up
She is constantly talking to me, even when I am not interested


Saki meows when he wants attention or wants to play.

Vash only catterwauls when he wants attention.
Shadow whines occasionally.
Spaz only talks to canned food.
Cassi will chirp and squeek if you touch her.
Ivory barks while she plays.

Trouble is very, very talkative.
He will gossip for hours on end and thoroughly enjoys having conversations.
He has a very melodic voice and will also often sing to us.

VERY talkative. various intonations of the classic "meow" sound, or sometimes the winey "meaah."
we've moved twice, and during the first week or so in a new apartment, he doesn't meow at all. i'm always so happy hearing that first "meow" like "okay, i like this place now."

Tomas is one of the loudest cats I have ever had, he's always meowing or burring. I'm glad he at least has a nice cat voice.

Lately Sho has started to meow and burr a little, maybe Tomas is rubbing off on him a bit?

Far far away!
Wesley sometimes meows if I talk to him. He meows when he wants to go outside or if he is hungry. He loves to purr! If you pet him, he will instantly purr. I love the little noise he makes sometimes, it's like a cross between a purr and a meow. I don't know how to say it, but it is so cute!
He usually does it when he is sleepy and I say his name or come over to pet him while he's laying there.
