Whenever Tyche jumps off a chair or something, upon landing she lets
out a little noise, like a squeak or grunt-meow. It's like in basic
training where they say "Let me hear your battle cry!" and go HOOAH!
every time they make a punch/step/whatever.
She also will sit down in an empty room and start singing or meowing,
talking to herself, sometimes very loudly.
I've also seen her walking around meowing for no apparent reason.
She sure loves the sound of her own voice.

How is her eyesight? Hearing? Have you checked her claws to make sure
none have grown into the pads? IMHO she sounds like she feels lost.

We clip their claws every other week, so we know there are none in the
pads. She certainly has no trouble hearing (and answering to) our
voices and I have dealt with blind animals in the past--she does not
act like they do.
>From Kittenhood, she and Kumani would scream and cry if they were taken
out of sight of their sister. They don't do this any more, though they
do spend a lot of time together. Kumani seems to be okay apart from
Tyche now, but I wonder if Tyche is perhaps more dependent on her
sister's presence.

Stinky does that too, ever since he was a little fellow. "Oof!"
.

Stinky does all of the above. He's a noisy guy.

Sam was like that. He was a very vocal Siamese and he really did seem to
love the sound of his own voice.
Jake isn't that talkative for a Meezer, but he does walk around grumbling
like an old man sometimes.

LB lets out an "umph" whenever she jumps up or down off something -
and also talks quietly to herself, or maybe she's calling Sammy, since
Sam usually goes to see what's she's talking about ;-) One of the
changes with Spot's arrival is that LB is a lot quieter.

Sarrasine does that sometimes

Isis (RB) did that a lot, she was the loudest most talkative cat ever,
we used to say to her "Speak up, they can't quite hear you in
Birmingham"

LOL! My mother says to Stinky "Who asked you?" and "Another county
heard from."

Rita does that too. She squeaks when I pick her up. IF she's
laying on the couch with me, and I decide to run my hand down her
side and pet her, she picks up her head and meows. If I'm trying
to go to sleep, she drags her toys into the bed and meows at me
to play with her. Then there are the times when she just walks
around and meows for no good reason (that I can figure out).
I usually wake up to find her toys all over the floor and bed.
On my way into the living room, I pick them all up and put them
back where they were, and she follows me and meows all the way.
(let me tell you, stepping onto a catnip mouse with a broken
foot when you're only half asleep is quite the eye-opener!)

Spicey does this too. Each meow has its own meaning.
