Where my cats are
Some kitties are more vocal than others.  My Mooch is a talker.  A friend of mine had a cat you could have whole conversations with too.  

Has he always been a talker?

I am assuming he is neutered, right? Is he a color point by any chance? Does he have a dark face/tail/legs and a light body?
Also, given his age, this can be a sign of thyroid issues.... Has he been to the vet lately for a senior panel?

Has he recently started talking so much or has he always been like that?

If it is a new thing, he might be going deaf or have an early stage of dementia.

But many cats are just talkative by nature, especially if they have learned that humans respond to it.
