Am going to have to record one of our cats for posterity. He's the most vocal cat I've ever heard and is on the cusp of actually speaking in Human. Meanwhile, he has to be the Pavarotti of felines, the way he can project his voice. It's monumental. And he's close to speaking in throat-singing, the most astounding example being last Sunday evening when he topped even himself and would have been heard at least 100 metres away
He's able to meowl 'Hello', although it comes out more as 'Heerowww'. And he has a fairly extensive vocabulary generally; certain sounds for 'food', others for 'go out?', etc. He doesn't mix his sounds up, they have remained constant over several years
Our other cat is a contender for Most Beautiful Cat in Australia and is a back-chatter. His noises are softer, sweeter, but if you say 'no' to him, he sounds off like a little kid and always has to have the last word as he stomps away
Our Pavarotti cat was poisoned by some filthy renters about eight months ago. It left him with only 20% kidney (or liver) function according to the vet. He used to be a complete pig, foodwise. Now, he is allowed to have only special, bland stuff. When we try to vary his diet by including a tiny bit of chicken or tuna, etc., he projectile vomits several times in following hours, so unfortunately for him, he's stuck with the bland stuff. Still, he's managed to almost regain his former weight and is getting pretty cocky again. He'll be 16 soon. He's still missing his lifelong companion who died a couple of years ago at 18. I still miss the other guy too and dream about him sometime. He was the Jesus of cats
