We have two male Bengals, both neutred, eighteen months old, they are brothers.
One of them is really, noisy, and pushy to the point of being aggravating. His brother is much quieter and never seems to have developed an adult cat meow. He has a kind of kitten squeak. Up until recently he never made any noise at all. Why is that??

Maybe he is just the opposite of his brother? All cats develop their own personalities and way of doing things. We have two cats and one just likes to snuggle up on your lap and sleep while the other one never sits still and is always into some kind of mischeif. Not all cats meow....It's like the myth that cats wag their tails when angry - How can a cat be angry and purr like its happy at the same time?! Just let him be his own cat thats what i say ;-)

He may very well be in heat himself. Now when I say heat I dont mean the same kind females go through. I just mean nature may be telling him it's time to mate. In addition if he's a siamese or partly siamese this may explain it as well. Siamese cats are naturally talkative for no apparent reason. As far as how long a cat will take to get used to another. Well just like people they're all different. They adapt at different rates. Some cats take as little as a month while others never adapt at all. Also age is a factor here. Older cats have a harder time adapting to younger feline family members. Younger cats usually dont have this issue because just like human kids they're usually very accepting of changing conditions. Also if your cat was a single pet in the home for an extended period, he or she will have a harder time adjusting to another cat simply because they're used to having your undivided attention and no longer have it. In other words, jealousy. Yes male and female cats both can call to each other in mating season. That's why cats are more talkative when they're in heat. Also you should have your cat neutered as soon as possible to reduce the risks of reproductive cancers.

We have this giant 18# red tabby that mews like a kitten. The only other time we heard him make a different sound was the time we gave him a bath to ready him for the household pet cat show. He really howled until he found it wouldn't do him any good until we got finished grooming him. We were surprised that he could even make that kind of noise after all the kitten sounds.

Hey, I wouldn't worry about it, my cat that died recently was male and he never made a noise. He went through the motions of meowing but no noise came out of his mouth. But he did make up for it with purring, his purr was so loud and squeaky you could here it in the next room. You just have to remember that cats are just like people, everyone is different even siblings.

We have 2 cats, a male and a female. The male cat hardly ever makes a sound and when he does it's soft and scratchy.
However when he is downstairs and wants the female to come down and play he can really let out a howl. That is the ONLY time he makes that much noise.

Perhaps the neutering did it...? I like to say that's what makes my 3 year old cat meow like a kitten still. He was neutered rather young. And every person and animal gets different hormones at different times in each stage.
As for not being as aggressive, it seems that that's just his personality. Love him for it anyway.

Everyone is different, cats too. Don't worry. The vet I visit frequently also has got a cat which makes similar sounds like a hen and she calls the cat "hen" and sees nothing wrong in these sounds or the cat's health and behaviour.

Aaaah this is down to the vagaries of cat education! Even feline siblings, schooled together, can differ. It might have been which one sat nearer the mouse hole, it might be an issue of where the girl cats sat, we shall never know now!
Just remember, it is always the quiet ones you have to watch!

That's because when
cats are males they might be thought of
as females if they meow properly
so what your is trying to do is
meow more like a male
cat.
