My Russian’s meows had no sound when he opened his mouth when he was a kitten. I stayed at home with him for 3 weeks when I first got him. When he was a kitten his first actual sound was when I left the room quietly when he fell asleep and he woke up within 5 minutes and I wasn’t there, he came out looking for me and made a little monkey sound at me because I left the room without him. He still makes the monkey sound occasionally when he gets upset looking for me. 😂
Kotetsu also didn't meow much when he was a kitten. Currently, he cries when he wants food and when he wants to be played with. My favorite call is the one he makes when he finds an insect🧚
my fluff ball must be a secret russian blue. she's a fawn grey tabby from an abusive previous owner. took her years till she felt confident to make audible noises at me. they were just silent mouth movements before that. still is silent except for certain times, so very similar to the russian blue in that way. i reward her with positive attention, etc, whenever she does something that she' used to do when we first got her (survival defense instinct behaviours, prey freeze behaviours, victim behaviours, etc). now she's my little confident tiger walking around the property like she owns it, with me as her #1 butler/masseuse. only has bad moments sometimes when startled. 💜 her
Oh yes! The 0430 food riot. They have crunchies. They get a midnight snack. It’s the ritual of the feeding they want. Once it’s dished and down, all interest is lost.
