Cats are experts in getting your attention with all manner of sounds, from yowls and hisses to purrs and adorable little mews. Here are six of the most vocal cat breeds.
Siamese

The Siamese cat has a lot to say. If there were a competition for the cat most likely to talk your ear off, the Siamese would blow every other breed out of the water.
It is one of the oldest purebred cats and is native to Thailand. It was introduced to the rest of the world in the late 1800s. The Siamese is intelligent and loves people. They are also fond of expressing their love with all sorts of cute and quirky sounds.
Bengal

Bengal cats are beautiful and resemble wild leopards, but they are domesticated and won’t fail to tell their human companions what they want.
The Bengal is a newer breed, as it was only developed in the United States in the 1980s. Another interesting fact about them is that they like water.
Siberian

Siberians are the national cats of Russia, and they’ve been around for hundreds of years. But they were only formally recognized as a breed in the United States in 2006.
They are very large, weighing from 12 to 20 pounds. Siberian cats prefer to express themselves in the form of chirps, purrs, and soft mews so they’re not too loud.
American Bobtail

The American bobtail was developed in America in the 1960s. The tail is their most defining feature. When these felines vocalize, they will produce trills, clicks, and chirps aside from the classic meow.
They love to spend time with their family and keep up a stream of chatter when playing with their toys.
Ocicat

The Ocicat was developed from a single spotted kitten born to Siamese and Abyssinian parents. The breed was formally recognized in 1987.
They do not like being alone and enjoy the attention of their owners. They will complain loudly if they aren’t receiving enough attention and will start acting out if they are not getting regular exercise and mental stimulation.
Oriental

Following World War II, British breeders developed the Oriental from the Siamese. Since the Oriental is essentially a Siamese cat, it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that this breed is also quite vocal.
The Oriental is intelligent, affectionate, and curious like the Siamese. If you like your peace and quiet, perhaps the Oriental is not for you because this cat is a constant yapping machine.
