Why are Siamese cats so vocal?

Siamese cats are so vocal because they’re hardwired to communicate, and they’re not shy about it. This cute cat breed has been selectively bred for strong bonds with people, and vocalizing is one of the ways they express their needs, feelings, and opinions. Their distinct, loud, and often raspy meows (sometimes called a “meezer”) are just part of who they are.

They might talk when they’re hungry, bored, curious, excited, or simply want attention. Because they’re smart and people-oriented, they expect interaction and often treat conversations with their humans as a two-way street. So if you’re living with a Siamese, expect lots of chatter and personality. Silence is not really their style.
