My dog is generally very quiet, unless there's someone at the door or he hears a strange sound, but I definitely feel like I've had a few conversations with my kitty! She is very vocal (something I think is common from Siamese cats), and always greets me with a meow when I come over to pet her. The other day I came home from getting food and she was sitting on the front porch, and as soon as I got out of the car she rushed over to me and let out a long meow before rolling over on the sidewalk and looking like she wanted to petting. I meowed back at her and she meowed back at me, and we went back at forth meowing at each other for a little bit. Scarlet (kitty's name) also has a very big purr, and sometimes she starts to purr before I even start petting her. I've had times where I just glanced over at her while I was working on something and she immediately started purring, or rushed right over to me and mewled for attention. I've never had a cat as vocal as she is, but it is really adorable and I love my chats with her.
