Maybe he just has no reason to cry out, what with your wife paying so much attention to him and all.

If this is sudden behavior, I'd be concerned, especially if she seems lethargic or depressed, and a vet visit would be in order. However, if she's always been on the quiet side, but otherwise seems happy and healthy, then it's perfectly normal, and it's just her nature. Cats are individuals, just like humans. I'm sure you must have a few human friends who don't talk much. I have four cats and two of them are quite talkative, while the other two do not verbalize a lot with the humans. (One, an almost 20-pound guy, tries to meow, but it comes out as a little squeak - rather endearing, actually.
Try "talking it up" with your kitty to see if she responds. One correspondent even went to the library and got a CD with sounds of cats meowing, and played it for her cat. A week later, the cat marched right up to her and gave a clear and vocal "meow."
Sometimes cats (like people) just need a bit of encouragement. If your cat remains silent, just enjoy her for herself. You might even count your blessings, as other people are troubled with excessive vocalization in their cats.

He's probably just shy or quiet! Cats are like humans they all have their own distinct personality, so some are quiet while others are loud!

catch it licking it's butt and look to see if it's tounge is curled. Our vet said this is common and keeps the cat happy and doesn't need to meow.

one way to find out.... put a piece of tape on his back.... he'll make noise (and act like he is carrying a really heavy load) unless he is mute
