Anyone else have a quiet cat?

The only time I ever hear anything out of any of mine is if they are really frustrated (like, bath time for Martha Mae...she's the loudest, Or when Brazil can't catch our interactive toys...it's barely a meow...more like a little 'uuuhh! i can't get it!', or when Faith is hungry...hers is merely a 'squeak'!!! I call her 'squeaker' because of it....you can barely hear it too, unless you are really listening; and she only does it when I am in their 'food pantry'!Hahaha!)

In short...Mine are really quiet...They do go bump in the night though, so I know they are 'normal'!

I had one quiet cat - my RB cat Sphinx. I have only heard him meow once in the two years I had him and the only other noise he made was the frustrated chatter at the birds outside the window. The current quietest one is our other boy Luvbug - he only meows going to the vet and wanting his food.

Lena and Larry have not uttered a sound since I got them 4 weeks ago. I'm so curious what kinds of voices they have. But, they were street cats, so the thing Laurie mentioned about their mothers teaching them not to make a sound makes total sense.

I'm so used to cats being vocal. My first cat, Torfinn, was part Siamese, so he talked all the time - regular conversations. Little Gudrun had that sort of chirp/meow - very ladylike and shy.

I have a feeling Lena sounds like that. I'll have to wait and see.

My mother's cat Coco has conversations with you. But Blossom, who I've had since 3 w/o was a loud purrer when she 1st came home. Now 1.5 y/o the only times I've heard her meow, is waiting to see the vet, a very soft double meow only. Recently she spent the night at the vet & the next day she meowed softly at the door to be let into the bathroom where her litter box is. Then yesterday she was at the back door & gave another very soft meow. Also, when she purrs you can only hear it when you put your ear to her chest.

Elsa, a former feral, rarely meows, and when she does it's very soft. She also purrs at a volume that is undetectable to the human ear!

Smudge, typical of a Ragdoll, is very quiet as well. In two years I think he's meowed maybe 10 times.

Quiet? No, mine are not quiet they are loud, very loud.

Twitch....haven't hardly heard a peep outta her in her entire life. She's only purred once. She meows when drinking from the faucet & sometimes playing, but only once or twice. If one can't hear, how does one know if they are meowing?

Ophelia.....she has got a CROW to her! She's just screams, yodels, yells.....whatever you want to say. Screams bloody murder at the top of her lungs is a good comparison. I think if she yells loud enough she must be able to feel it, cuz she can't hear it?

Molly, Lily, both Bobs, Dorian, Punky, Cow, & Squishy all talk a lot. Can't hardly touch Goat-Head, Tabitha, or Slinky to even know if they meow. Fafeena's quiet, but when she does speak one must listen or she'll bite ya. PJ is pretty quiet, unless you've got food then he's annoying.

Did I miss anyone?

Memphis used to be a quiet cat. When he wanted food or anything he'd let out a little squeak. When Tobi passed, (Tobi was very loud) it was almost like he wasn't there to do the talking anymore, so Memphis started talking all the time!

Radar is a very quiet cat, vocally at least. He used to make more noise but got very sick last spring and had a very inflamed throat, we think it permanently damaged his larynx because he's barely made a sound since, when he tries it's like a broken squeak.

I wouldn't call him quiet though, although he hardly vocalises at all, we can always tell where he is by the sounds of destruction that follow in his wake

nope, no quiet cats in my house either. milo is the king of the hmmmm? noise, shinobi has a sweet little chirrup and tabitha moans at the kittens frequently!

My little Rosie is pretty quiet. My husband used to joke that we had to send her to "Meow School" because when she does talk, it's like Meh heh heh. My big fellow, Zampy is quite loud when he wants something.

Quiet? Butzie meows all the time. My Mom laughed when I told her because she said that Butzie is just like me.

Beauty is very quiet. The only time I hear her make a noise is if I pick her up when she isn't expecting it. Even then it's the quietest squeak you have ever heard!

Popsie is the complete opposite of quiet. I think he likes the sound of his own meow because he's always talking.

Normally Purl is quiet but she just has her moments where she has to talk, and has a broken Meow, haha. But, at 5 in the morning she gives meaning to the term 'caterwaul'! Max is usually the talker, he talks to anyone who will listen

Crystal is a quiet girl I only hear her meow if she's really hungry.

That is exactly how Lexi is. When we were feeding her while she was still outside, she knew when I would go outside in the morning before work and would be waiting for me. She would just wail her head off!

My 9 month old cat Ripley is a very quiet cat too. Very rarley will she meow or make any noise. When she is really relaxed and sleeping she will snore but you can only be a few inches away from her to hear it. She is super quiet.

I guess its a good thing Ripley is quiet because my 7 month old cat Cali is loud ALL day long. We call her "I'm-a-Wheiner" because she is ALWAYS crying for so reason or another. She is even loud when she sleeps.

Sure. If you look up the description of a Persian cat it will say, quiet and layed back. That is what Persi is for sure.
