I love that all I have to do is walk into the bedroom and Rosie spends the next five minutes telling me all about everything I missed while I was gone for four hours
Chatty cats are so great. Saffron is either nearly inaudible, lots of soft chirps and trills, or else it's loud grating meows that aren't usually as pissed off as they sound. So loud.
Rosie isn't much for the loud yells, but she will have an entire conversation with you in meeps and chirps. Now, Naomi just yells. She has the meezer yell despite being a brown tabby and she can sound *massively* pissed when she wants, lol.
Oh, I love the meezer yell, though it can certainly pin your ears back. Saffron is meezer-adjacent (some Oriental shorthair in there, according to the rescue people); and both of our small void cats have the classic shape and different variations of the yell. Ninja is mournful, Nuite cusses.
Anders, meanwhile, never lost his high-pitched kitten squeak. I should record all our cats at some point and let people try to match cat to vocalizations, heh.
We had two orange cats when I was a teenager. One of them had a kitten squeak at best most of the time, and the other one would just open his mouth and kind of make a chirp noise. (Basically, imagine an abbreviated Maine Coon chirp.)
Could I borrow your cat to teach mine about indoor voices? How such volume comes out of 5lbs of blue fluff I will never know. (Being deaf, of course, means she has to be extra loud, just in case.)
This is Balien
Touch him or talk to him, and he *will* make noise
I adore it
(He also taught by example our previously quiet but extremely clever tabby the power of well-placed meows)
