The Most Vocal Cat Breeds

Cats, like us, are individuals. Even within breeds, cats have their own personality traits and preferences. But why are some cats, like the Siamese or the Cornish Rex, more talkative than others?

"Vocalization in cats has been an area of interest for a long time and the differences in vocalizations between wild cats and domestic cats," says Becky Mossor, RTV, head of feline education at Basepaws. "What we are learning is that cat vocalizations are more for communicating with their people than for communicating with each other."

While we love cats in general, talkative cats tend to be popular because people enjoy their meows, chirps, trills, and purrs—plus, chatty pets can help ease loneliness. Read on for the most talkative types to bring home.
