Welcome Sophies Purrson. :)
Tubby is the talker in our house. He doesn't talk all the time - just when he has something to say. And it's funny because when I took him to the vet for his bladder infection, he complained when she was man-handling him to feel his bladder etc. She had to ask me if he's normally so vocal or if he might be doing that out of pain. I told her I'm not sure about the pain part, but that yes, he is definitely a vocal kitty and will let you know when he wants something or you're doing something he doesn't want you to be doing.
Peanut will only meow when she knows treats are near, or when she wants up on Daddy's lap. ;) :D
