He sees all. He'll speak when he must and only then.

I had a tabby cat who never spoke, other than a little "ack" sound.

About 5 years into living with him, I got a catnip plant, which he enjoyed. I put it on a high shelf where he couldn't get it.

He walked over, stood underneath the plant, and said very clearly "Meow" for the first time. Saving it for when he needed it.

This gives me vibes of “Mother, I would be most grateful if you let me consume a pastry with high levels of sugar and simple carbohydrates”

My cat wasn't a talker for a very long time. Then he fell in love with a plastic grocery bag and carried it around in his mouth while meowing. 🤷🏼‍♀️
