The only breed I can speak to is the Siamese, actually the Siamese and Balinese. They are mote talkative that most Cats and always want to be where the action is.
Oh yes Miquelito and Pouncierge are Oriental Shorthairs so they are not quite as talkative but they are very active.
Of course they are still big kittens , so that may be the reason too!!!
