I have two cats, gray tabbies, who can meow! Wow, it sounds like I have a siamese on the loose. But my little black cat, Rueben, is so quiet. He squeaks more than anything. Every once in a while, he'll give a quiet little "mew", but he has never, ever, meowed even so loud that you can hear him in the next room. When he was a kitten, I thought it was normal, but he's over a year old now and he still mostly just squeaks. He's so laid back. He also never demands food or attention like my tabbies (yes, I do feed them, just not 46 times a day). He appreciates it, and he'll always come to me if I call him, and always when I'm talking on the phone (he thinks I'm talking to him). But I could ignore him for days and he wouldn't seem to mind (I don't ignore him for days, but I could). He also doesn't play much. I try to get him to, but he just doesn't. He'll play with the other cats some, until they get too rough. I'm wondering if his mellow attitude has anything to do with getting his shots as a baby. He stopped eating for a week and almost died (I ended up force feeding him). He is not fully vaccinated because I refuse to go through that again.
Any thoughts? Or is he just mellow?
