Meow! Is your kitty a talker? Do you like it?

[Siva's mom]

Out of my 4 cats, 3 of them do that throaty chirpy noise and the tortie vocalizes her annoyance with hissing, growling, and the sounds heard when cats fight. Should one of the other cats stir the air around Siva (the tortie) she will at times sound like she wants to do horrible things to the offending cat. Only one of the four, one- year old Sweets, actually talks to me. She calls me from another room if she hasn't seen me in a while or will just chat while she walks around the kitchen while I'm doing something in that room. I've often wondered why my other cats don't talk much. Sweets is a rescue kitty so that may have something to do with it. So I guess cats really are like people - some are talkers and some aren't!

I haven't heard about cats saving their meows for only humans but it makes sense. Since cats aren't pack animals, I suppose they have no real need to talk to each other.
