@ehBeth,
Nah....the choips are just their version of the hunting chatter noise all cats make.
Sebastian is extremely vocal though. He mews a LOT.
A lot of the mewing is when he's fully engaged with me and is, I think, just chatting. I have had Siamese for so long that the high pitched kitten mew sounds weird.
He also talks to himself....currently he is exploring the amazing phenomenon of a bath with water in it, and he was mewing to himself as he walked round the edge of the bath.....or perhaps that is a remnant of the kitten keeping mum informed about where he is?
Viola is getting more vocal as she connects with me....but she does more with her eyes and expression. Her voice is lower as befits a girl with so much Siamese in her.
Apparently they have quiet voices...and the mews are certainly little mews.
I do miss Miranda's lovely husky voice and chats!
