will she ever shut up?!

[Furry Friend]

I think it is a bengal trait, but shes soo loud! (and.. wees everywhere!)  we have so much problems with toffee, she really is a pain!

Yes, she is so my moms cat! (I picked her but shes bonded to my mom) ziggy is mine bless him sHE SHUTS UP WHEN MOM FUSSES HER, SHE SITS IN HER arms on the the table, on the newspaper, on her lap. Anywhere mom is toffee is, as soon as mom goes out side, she starts meow meow!!!! It sounds so depressing sometimes, it drains me out! But... i suppose thats toffee for you

Thanks for the earplug idea Might by a way lol

Thanks for all the help!!! (orry for caps didnt realise haha )

One of my cats is a bengal and she is the loudest thing ever!!!

The other day I had to use a voice activating customer phone service, and she was walking around shouting while I tried to choose the correct options. She ''chose'' the wrong options for me 3 times, and finally she ''chose'' to finish the phone call!

It's just how they're programmed. Bengals are loud!

I know,  it's their main way of trying to get us to understand, if you think about it.

Paddy yowled a lot after his stroke when he was left deaf.  After about a year, the yowling stopped, but it was partly because he needed to communicate and didn't know if we could hear him cos he certainly couldn't and that was a mystery he couldn't fathom, and partly for reassurance.  When you wrote that it's worst when you come in, and then when your Mom goes out of sight, I think it seems like she might be anxious about it, and really pleased when her people come back to her.  She needs to tell you about that in the only way she knows she can get your attention.

Like Ellen has said you curse it at the time and then when they are no longer with you, you yearn to hear them shout.

Napoleon was a shouter like most birmans and he would be telling me things and when he became ill he was shouting at top of his voice and I couldnt understand what he wanted. I eventually went with him and despite he must have been in pain he took me upstairs to the litter tray and showed me he couldnt go.

Breaks my heart to think about it and think its best to try and know what they are trying to say and I miss his mrrrrrrooowing so much now, his brother is whining a lot and mostly its for food but just dont know why he is doing it and very worrying.

[Ellen2010]

Believe me you would miss it if she was not around for some reason, but do realise it can be annoying.  I had one that use to meow as soon as the phone rang and all the way through the conversation, I used to curse her for it but when I lost her the house seemed so empty and very quiet.

tilly does it for all sorts of reason, she is hungry, she is bored, she is asking one of the others to chase her - she even yowels in her sleep sometimes  I would actually miss it if she didn't the other three of mine are practically mute

[Sue P (Paddysmum)]

Sounds like it could be an endearing but tiring trait.  Would you feel comfortable wearing ear plugs at night?  This might help you get a better sleep, although I appreciate some people don't feel right with ear plugs in (me for one - what if I missed an "important" noise? 

With your Mom it sounds as if she might have a degree of separation anxiety.  Does it stop if she gets attention?

Am just wondering if there's anything in any of Vicky Hall's books which might be useful, although I suspect given it's a well known Bengal characteristic, you could well be stuck with it.

Have to say our bengal in the bathroom Miss Porsche is a yowler and does talk as well but she's not as bad as the Ragdolls Caspurr and Minmin and I am also so lucky that my domestics and ferals are talkers as well so she is in good voice in this house if she can get a word in edgeways

Oh also the Clan dogs are talkers to so sometimes its like having the Radio on 24/7 here

[sheryl]

It is a common trait for Bengals to be verbal - 3 of my 4 are very verbal and TBH I wouldnt have it any other way, I love chatting to them - well they dont call me the "Mad Cat Lady" for nothing 

[Dawn F]
