    My cat only meows when she’s upset or annoyed or angry. Her trills are so cute when she does, though. What I’d do for a chatty cat!

    i have one that if he is moving within sight of me he is meowing, it’s so cute as his little bounces affect the meows. the other one is super stealthy, until he has to poop, and then lets the while neighborhood know with a few minutes of outright yowls first. and yes, he’s fine, he’s just done it for 14 years

    My cat is a bastard, a grouchy, always hungry curmudgeon. He does not sing, he yells at you with a voice like Lemmy Killmeister smoking and gargling Jack Daniels.

    There are people who dislike that??

    I always think it’s wonderful when you and an animal can communicate. It might not always be as effective, but it’s an important part of connecting with someone. Human or animal.

    I love conversing with my boy. He always has interesting things to say. More so than most people.

    I love chatty cats.

    What I don’t love is how mine will harass me excessively as I’m preparing for work. He’ll just scream at me to let him out, like, fuck you man I still have like 10 minutes of showering and making coffee and shit you can go outside when I leave. This is how it is every day.

    Yes, I know you shouldn’t let your cat outside, but he’s at least 10 years old, he’s set in his ways, he will unleash hell if impounded.

    I have a variety of cat chattiness.

    Buttons (16 year old Tonkinese) is VERY chatty and very loud at times. The latter mostly due to being deaf or nearly so, but she’s always been quite talkative.

    Serenity (13 year old Calico) only makes noise when hungry or interacting with other cats. And none of those are pleasant.

    Mizu (a bit over a year, hard to pin down stray) is VERY quiet unless it’s food or play time. Even then, her trills are still rather subdued.

    All she has to say is “feed me.”

    I don’t feed you. The automatic feeder will feed at the same time it feeds you every day.

    My one cat is soooo loud. Her face thing is to come up to me while I’m on work calls and meow right into the microphone.

    Fair, but there is definitely a line between chatty and psychological warfare. Not all cats are built equal and some of them want to see it to that a good night’s sleep is forever out of reach. That’ll literally drive you crazy, regardless of what mindset the silly humie is bringing

      This is me and my cat.

      During the day I love conversing with her but when she wants to kick me out of my room at 3 AM I question my sanity.

        Oof. I could not deal tbh. Closest I’ve come to this is a past roommates feline fellow (my two cats are more into claw-sports than yodeling; a very different kind of frustrating lol). He is otherwise a little sweetheart, but I definitely do not have the patience and strength of will she has in handling that near-everyday intrusion on her sleep. She is a saint, saddled with a cute little devil lol

          We used to have a tabby that would wake me up at night for cuddles and pets. Often I’d lift up the blankets and she would curl up against me, under the covers, and stay there for 15-20 minutes (occasionally a lot longer).

          I miss her so much.

          One of our tuxedo cats usually doesn’t wake me, but if he realizes I’m awake, he’ll sometimes demand pets and cuddles.

          She has co-felines plus I give her all sorts of attention during the day, as well lol.

          She just doesn’t like me being in “her” space too long sometimes 😂

            Lol, feline war cries at 3am - to battle!
            (Stay strong.)

            Explain to her that you talked about her oppressive habit online, maybe she’ll become introspective & reflect on the matter :D.

            (Also I’m glad she has other normal cats around <3.)

      Mine are fairly quiet vocally, but I’ll be God damned if they ever let me catch a full night’s rest. The hours of 3-5a are crash bang time.

      yeah, i kept waking up with unexplained little bruises on my thighs and belly. stayed awake past midnight one night and saw my orange dishpit waggling his butt as he prepared to pounce on my crotch. bruises were the same size as his paws.
