I adopted a kitten because I was in a pet store and she reached out of the mutt cat community cage and snagged my sweater with her claws. I stopped because she really had a hold of my sweater, and she was the smallest cat in the cage. I took her home and we lived twenty two years together. She was so talkative. She would yell before entering any room. She was the best friend I ever had.

I was just talking to the upstairs neighbor's cat because he won't let me pass by without picking him up and hearing about his day (he bites my ankles if I try to go past without saying hello).
Awww 🥹 Lil ankle biter
"LOVE ME" nom
Except at 2am. And 3am. And 4, 5, and 6am. On the hour, every hour. We have an alarm cat* and it's cat o'clock.
Of course, she sleeps during the day.

My tortie is also a fan of screaming in the middle of the night, preferably (for her) in my face. I love her chattiness during the day, though.
Love it when cats are vocal!
Here’s a crazy story, had the one acquaintance come over to my place and heard my cat meowing loudly and eagerly claimed that they are making a cat translator and that he saw it on TikTok.
He legitimately tried a combo of meows to talk to my cat….
Fuck I can’t stand the brain rot being spread nowadays on TikTok and the Facebook shitholes.
Everyone knows the meows matter, but the meow-wows... That's when they are spilling the tea
My cat loves to help me when I am on work calls. She'll come up to me and meow straight into my mic. Clients absolutely adore it lol
One of my kitties’ favorite games is fetch, with a specific type of ball. I know when he wants to play because I’ll hear the increasingly loud rounded mrowls of him trying to scream while holding a ball in his mouth as he walks down the hallway to plop it on the floor and kick it into my feet.
My cat too. With bottle caps.
One of ours does that when he comes home, tells us a lot of stories.
Another just meows when complaining so you know what's up.
I have two, one meows all the time every time he sees me, he even does drive bys when he runs through the room I'm in. The other one is pretty quiet but i always know when he's about to poop.
You can train that "meow to poop" behavior. All of my cats do it. It's because every time I go to the bathroom, I say to the house in general (okay to the cats) "gotta poop!" And well, you know how cats copy.
My cats like to announce loudly when they are done pooping. It's a very specific and audibly differentiable meow, like they are notifying me to come clean up. 😂
You may get a short conversation between "ma", "meh", "mah", "maha"... Secret words apparently.
