Happiness is....

sweet kitty with a beautiful face and very friendly. Lucky you.

Our miss Ike talks like that when she is petted but she has this teeny weeny squeaky little voice. It is quite endearing.

I'm such a sucker for sweet kitties (this explains how I came home with three when I went to adopt 1). All of mine talk - but in different ways. Our Siamese mix has that weird throaty voice that he uses sometimes. Our big long haired Maine Coon looking kitty has a very thin squeak almost. The other one is somewhere in the middle - but mostly a monotone....

I wonder if the tiny little bell like squeak is typical of Maine Coons? Our 22 pound boy Tux has such an itty bitty tiny voice which he uses hardly at all. Neither of our current cats talk all that much,maybe one or two comments e very couple of weeks. Previously we had an ocicat (abyssinian/siamese cross breed) that talked and whine constantly.

Now if we could only break the dogs of barking constantly at e verything and nothing.

LimeWave - too cute! What a sweety :-) :-) :-)

Happiness is waking up in bed next to my sweetheart BF and putting my head on his chest while we both wake up. The smell of the fresh cup of coffee he sits on the nightstand next to me in the morning :-) Purring kitties is always a happy time and of course fun rides with new and old friends :-)

Happiness to me is to ride the trails, connected to the world around me. It is camping, relaxing at the fire, riding, hiking, without a thought for work stress. It is relaxing in front of the fireplace at home, listening to good music, watching the fire and reading a good book.

Happiness is completing a beautiful embroidery project for a good friend. Happiness is, or used to be, writing a story while listening to good music. I am considering returning to that after decades of not writing. Happiness is relaxing with good friends, and if good beer is involved that is good too

From what I've read, they do "chirp" regularly more than other breeds. Mine has a really high, quiet voice too, though she talks much less now than she did as a kitten.
