Both of my male cats meow very little. But, my female, Emmy, never shuts up!
She meows all the time. (But she is just like her Meowmy...I never shut up, either.
)
So, it got me to wondering....are female cats more "chatty"?

I have only one, so I'm biased, but I voted girl. This is an interesting thread.

I'm the chattiest in my house.
My kitties are both boys and they are both chatty. Miagi is all the time but Tiger is when he wants me to wake up

We only have one male with our three girls, but the girls are definitely the talkers..

I have two chatters, 1 girl, 1 boy, and 2 quiet girls.

ETA: no sure it counts as chatting - usually they are placing demands rather than conversing, as such.

Well I only have one kitty and she's a girl. But she is very chatty. Especially at breakfast time. But sometimes she will sit and wail like a cat in heat and she's been spayed for a LONG time now. She will also chirp a bit when I am petting her and if I am on the telephone she comes and sits on my chest and meows. And everyone who talks on the telephone is like hello Tavia. They all think she's such a little dollbaby but a chatty one.

My 3 girls talk a lot more than my 2 males. Both boys and one female were former ferals or stray so I just figures that was the reason. Since they adopted us they all started talking a lot more. I don't think they will ever be as chatty as Princess and Patsy though.

At the moment I have all girls, of whom Cindy is the chatty one, paws down. Fawn squeaks, and Suzy talks if we're not paying enough attention, but she's not an attention seeker, so that has to be pretty serious.

Of my RB kitties, Shasta (girl) was mouthy, Samantha (girl) was mouthier (my little Drama Queen), Gryphon (boy) relied more on a soft paw on the leg to get attention, and Nibs (boy) was a mouthy Siamese. So I think it kind of averages out in my experience, but I voted based on the current situation.
