Abi is about 4.5 months and since i got her she has these extra bird like sounds under her purr. one is a little chirp like a bird, she uses this when settling into my lap and a few weeks ago I started to also hear a coo sound like doves make. both are made only when she is with me and snuggling in close.

Generally she is a very quiet cat and only "talks" when she cant find me and wants to me to answer. But her purr is a like a locomotive and very endearing.

My Callie chirps occasionally. Hannah pretty much cooes all the time. I think she wants us to know where she is!

Ginger makes chirping noises. Tiger makes little funny noises like that too. I think it's cute!

Snickers does "trilling", not normal meowing. I have never heard a normal 'meow' come from him. He's part Maine Coon, and from what I gather, Maine Coons have a specific trilling noise that sounds a lot like the dove sound you are talking about.

Polly makes little chirping sounds all the time. She's very talkative; she's almost constantly meowing or chirping. Even just walking down the hall, she'll chirp. I wish I knew what it meant!
