Anyone else have an un talkative cat?

Just curious! BogBastard at one year old is remarkably quiet. He does possess a perfectly serviceable miaow but only employs it for really urgent matters such as when his tail got caught in the cat flap, or when he wants to play with DS in the garden and the cat flap is shut! He didn't think to shout when he was accidentally shut in the understairs cupboard for three hours, and when he wants food he gives me a dirty look and bites my ankles.

We get a single greeting miaow through the window as we approach home, and he has a nice discreet little chirrup every so often, but generally he's just not a talkative cat. I'm used to chatter boxes so it's quite a surprise. Anyone else got one that doesn't talk much?

our beast is pretty quiet, and communicates generally via Hard Stares
it works pretty well for her, because when she does deign to utter a miaow, we all flock round her wondering what's wrong and how we can fix it.

We've got one quiet one and one really gobby one.

The quiet one does like a bit of a sing on the landing at bed time for no apparent reason, but other than that she's the silent but deadly type.

One of mine never says a word. He has a good line in pleading Feed Me eyes, though, so he copes with life. Girl Cat (more of a Middle Aged Woman Cat now) tells me lots of very important stuff all the time - she has a lot on her mind. I find myself saying "Is that right? Poor you!" to her.

I say in response to Beebs: 'Is it babe? I know. I agree. That's what I think as well'. Agreement seems to be what she's after!

I have a 16 year old cat. He has never spoken! He does the odd noise (definitely not a meow) when he wants food, but that's it!

He sounds like my kind of cat.
