How vocal are your Savannahs?

[Treywi]

We have 2 Bengals and 1 SV. The SV is the talker. He has made his presence known since we first brought him home with his voice. Between the nom nom noises he makes when eating, to the growling if anyone gets close while eating or playing with a toy, to just walking around meowing at anything and everything. Plus the chattering he does at the windows at the birds and squirrels. Only time he is quite is when he's sleeping or stalking his Bengal sister. Lucky for us he sleeps most of the day anymore. Seriously think he learned how to say "I'm Bored" the other day. lol We named him Triton Sea Caller, should have been Mr Meows a lot.

Keeba is really vocal and loud when he wants something....

Ambiente is really vocal and loud and sadly because he wants female all time . Diamond makes very interesting sounds, when she speaks with the kittens. Dazzle meows very quiet when she speaks with kittens or asks me something...

Ayrad is very quiet so far, he has a tiny discrete hi pitch meow when he's alone, like when I close the bathroom door or when I leave the apartment. It only last a couple minutes then he stops. And of course he meows when he's unhappy (Nail clipping, ears cleaning...) But his sounds are surprisingly quiet and high pitch. And I love it like that, he keeps me awake enough with the nocturnal surprise attacks lol

Isabis almost never speaks aloud, only when im about to feed her she makes a high pitch meow, or a really looooong meow lol. Brooklyn makes a cool deep "mrow" when she's behind the couch, or on top of the hermit crab tank... I'm not sure what it means, I think it's when she's looking for something to do, other than that she is always quiet. However, Mosi is always talking about something. He is the most talkative cat I have ever met. He is always talking to us about something. Especially when he wants food it gets really loud. He always makes me laugh

Zubi is incredibly vocal! He drives us insane! He meows at anything, everything, and nothing! Thankfully he is quiet most of the night...not sure how we'd live if he weren't :/

Loki (F2B) is very vocal, lots of strange sounds and new ones all the time. Stoney (F5) is not as vocal, but when he wants food or outside he is loud and clear - Meeeeeoooooowwwwwww!

Taj does not stop...howls to go out throughout the day...I cannot mention the word OUT or WALK because he goes crazy...

Ixas is also noisy and talk, talk, talks...I do not know what he is saying...

So lesson here? The girls in my house are relatively quiet and the boys are noisy - why am I not surprised?

I'm reading all of your answers and I'm telling myself I'm lucky lol... Ayrad barely meows and only when he's really unhappy... Plus you should listen to his meowing, my door is louder than him haha He's only 15 weeks old tho, can he starts being more talkative with age?

 

[Brigitte Cowell]

I think some are just naturally more vocal...I doubt your Ayrad will get more vocal unless he learns to be, for example if you always come running if he's meowing then he will learn that meowing gets him service so maybe would be more likely to vocalize more often.

I've found with mine, some are simply more chatty as babies and that doesn't tend to change. Most of mine are quiet simply because I never kept the noisy ones ;-)
