It’s pretty crazy how some cats are all about talking, while others prefer to keep it quiet. Some cats meow, chirp, and purr nonstop, but then there are the quiet ones who barely make a sound unless they really need to.
Take Pipoy, for example. He’s a good-looking cat who’s always kept his family on their toes with his silence.
Even though he’s one year old, Pipoy has stayed surprisingly quiet the whole time he’s been with his owner, Ladeen Lacambra. Definitely not your typical chatty cat!
As she shared in an interview:
“For as long as we’ve had him, we haven’t heard him create any sound.”
Even though he is pretty quiet, Pipoy is extremely affectionate and playful. This sweet boy likes to cuddle with his humans and make his family laugh with his funny behavior. An ideal feline companion, wouldn’t you agree?
However, on one seemingly ordinary day, something unexpected happened. Sweet Pipoy surprised everyone by breaking his vow of silence.
It all started when Lacambra’s brother’s girlfriend brought her cat to their house. Like any other cat enthusiast, she hoped that the two cats would become friends.
Believe it or not, this was the first time Pipoy had ever met another cat, and it was also his first attempt at using his voice!
Instead of meowing like a normal cat, Pipoy made a series of sounds that sounded like “hi”! Lacambra and everyone else couldn’t believe their ears.
What a smart kitty, right?
They were all so shocked that Pipoy was saying “hi” instead of “meow.” It was such a funny and unexpected moment that they couldn’t stop laughing. I can’t blame them, really! I would be laughing myself, too!
His owner shared:
“We were all shocked that Pipoy kept saying ‘hi’ instead of ‘meow’. That’s why we were laughing really hard.”
Sadly, the other cat was not very open to making a new friend. Poor Pipoy was just trying to be friendly and say “hi,” but the other cat ignored him completely.
This ended up crushing his dreams, and breaking both Pipoy’s heart and his voice! Because as Lacambra mentioned:
“That’s the first time and, sadly, the last time we’ve heard his voice.”
Well, no wonder Pipoy decided to go back to being quiet and keeping to himself… I would too!
Imagine stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something you have never done before, just to impress someone, and that someone ends up ignoring you. Don’t know about you, but my world would crash!
But, who knows, maybe one day sweet Pipoy will be brave again and greet his family with his special “hi” again – especially if he meets another cat who he thinks is worthy of his charming hellos!
If that ever happens, I hope the next kitty doesn’t end up ignoring him. Such a sweet cat deserves someone who will cherish his voice and talk with him for hours!
If you’ve enjoyed this story, make sure to share it with your friends and family! It would mean the world for me!
