Some cats treat the whole day like a conversation, answering voices with chirps, trills and full-length meows. Certain breeds are far more likely to keep up the chatter than others, particularly those with Siamese roots. Here are ten chatty cat breeds known for meowing back through the day.
1. Siamese: The original talker
The Siamese is the breed most often named when the topic is cat conversation, and the Cat Fanciers’ Association describes a social, people-focused cat with blue almond eyes, a pointed coat and a loud, expressive voice. It tends to want company and will say so.
Siamese often follow their families from room to room and answer when spoken to. The voice can be raspy and insistent, especially around mealtimes or when a favorite person is out of sight. Many do best in homes where someone is around during the day or where another pet can keep them company.
