Picasso has beautiful markings! I'm glad you gave his talking a second, third and fourth chance! I got Bennie as a kitten of a feral cat who'd been captured and spayed; he was the kitten who came to US and said "take me home." But as we say now, "we didn't ask for a talker kitty." He talks almost constantly sometimes, especially when he plays....and he's a tuxedo cat! Luckily, it's not at night, and most of the time it's very tolerable, but don't you wonder what your cat is saying? He talks to his toys! You have to love them!
