This makes my heart sing. I have an orange tabby, and although I don't consider him all that vocal, he is friends with everyone he meets. It is the quality of an orange cat for sure. My vocal cat was Culley, who recently learned how to use the dog door and ended up coyote fodder (much to my heartache). He, a black tabby, was the most vocal--and he was formerly feral as I had to trap him and do TNR (with the tipped ear) when he was still young (and then he decided to move in). Gosh I miss that cat! He was the one who was ALWAYS available for petting (all my other cats duck and run when I want a cat to pet).
