Pretty Grey Oriental kitty: [link]
Dude, I can see just from the pictures that that cat is a royal pain in the ass.
Which is not to say I don't want one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, they're essentially the same as a "wedge-head" Siamese, but without the Siamese coloring, so you're probably right.
Siamese and Orientals are often described as "chatty," which is a euphemism for "Won't shut the fuck up."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Um, no. I bred sealpoints for years, and they're no chattier than most other cats, except on an individual basis.
I sometimes used to wish mine talked more, especially Tekla. I like a cat with something to say for herself.

Hmm. Maybe "chatty" mostly applies to the more modern "wedge-head" ones?

My cat never shuts up, and he looks like a Russian or British Blue. No accounting for breeding, I guess.

Also, the more you talk to a kitten while it's growing up, the more it will meow as an adult. A housecat that grows up away from humans won't meow at all as an adult (or so I've heard)... so apparantly at least part of a cat's chattiness comes from its owner(s)....

Yep - talk to them and they'll chatter. Tekla, my sealpoint blue ribbon queen, was a rock and roll cat; she'd belonged to a bigtime guitarist before me and she would love it when I sang, because she'd talk along with me. Mostly, though, she was mellow and not chatty.

Ah. That explains a lot about Dread Beast and Trinian.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My girls were silent for quite a while except Rosie would chirp every time I'd toss a toy for her to chase. Now Rosie talks when she wants attention, but it's still rare to hear anything out of Gilda.

They look very much like mine.
And mine! Amarna's very much a lookalike to Mickey, except she is all-black (save for one white hair on her upper chest--not a white patch, one white hair). As for chatty, well, I've mentioned her habit of meowing while drinking water before. She also mutters while walking.
