W/ the best cats
No question about it. They each have their own way of communicating to me.Isn't that just wonderful?

Yeah,I can tell the difference between my 8 inside kitties.
Some of them are very vocal,but a few of them hardly ever want to "talk",but when they do,I know which one it is also.

I can tell the difference between my two cats. Sphinx is quiet unless he sees a bird and its a loud chirp/meow and Kuce has a soft meow and it can sound like a lamb....

My 3 have pretty different sounds to them so I can tell who is talking or yowling
Oh yeah - I can tell each of my 4 boys "meows" apart in the dark... it's so cute how different they are.

The only one I have really heard is Mittens. When she first came, I would hear this very loug yowling. I don't know if she was call Chewy or if she wanted to know if anyone else was in the house. She doesn't do it anymore. Neither one is very vocal. I have to be looking at chewy to even know he said anything. They both have a hi pitched cry when going to the vet in the carrier.

My cats meows SILENTLY!
Nooo.. I'm deaf so I can't hear them meowing.

As far as I know, Zebra and Pepper are the only ones who meows. Pepper meows a lot when I'm serving her wet catfood and seems to be meowing LOUDLY cuz her jaws open real big.


Zebra rarely meows but when she does, she looks soooo cute. When she meows, I ALWAYS stop whatever I'm doing and give her a good scritch and cuddle!


I have never seen Buddy or Spike meow so I don't think they have meowed since I've had them.. I've seen them hiss at outside cats...

I'd ask a hearing friend to come over and listen to tell me if they meow loudly or what their meows sound like but whenever I have friends over, Pepper and Zebra tend to hide (VERY SHY gals!) therefore my hearing friends won't be able to "listen" for me.

Without a doubt. Squirt has several very distinctive meows, and Joey hardly has a voice at all. It's really a no brainer around my house.

Not only can I tell who is meowing, I can even tell who is barfing in the middle of the night!
I'll know I am right by the color of the hairball I find!

Oh YEAH!!! My little Missy is sort of a Whiner!!

And is way more verbal than Spike is!! BUT, when Spike purrs, OMG!!! You can hear him all over the house, as he chirps like a little cricket!!!
And it is so goofy, as he is HUGE--and this little chirping sound coming from him, seems so out of place!

Coco has a really feminine sounding meow but the high pitch of it makes her meow loud.

Sterling moans alot and "talks" to me when he needs something.

Berkley has a raspy meow, like a meow/purr mixed.

Peached talks when she sees the food container, she gets so excited.

Now, Sasha, he doesn't meow, he squeaks. He makes some of the wildest sounds, almost like a wild cat could make. Sooo cute!!

I can TOTALLY tell the difference! Elwood is loud and boiserous and always has much to say while Jake kinda keeps to himself and only speaks when he needs to and even then it's soft and subdued. Kinda like my grandparents! "Oh Herman, be quiet! You don't know how to tell the story....."
