Must be those orange cats. I also have an orange tabby, Clancy, and he has a very loud voice...He's the "boss" of the other 2 in the house and he makes sure they know it...He and I do alot of "talking" and he always has to have the last word...I often thought if anyone ever heard the way he cries, they would think we're hurting him...I know what you mean about not sleeping. Clancy thinks he's the only one allowed on the bed during the night and heaven forbid if the girls should jump up...But, he's my baby and love him no matter what.....

Make sure that you and the other humans in his life are not responding in any way to the vocalization.

My SIL's kitten did this and he has outgrown it quite a bit now. It used to drive my BIL nuts. My cats talk (to us, to each other, they cry when they can't find the other, they meow when they want something), but it isn't excessive, I actually like it.

Your kitten must be related to mine! I found her when she was four weeks old and she hasn't stopped talking since. When she is mad (not hurt) but just upset you have locked her out of your room or aren't paying attention to her, she has this sharp "pay attention to me!" meow that sounds like nails on chalkboard. She "talks" when she uses her litter box, when she wants fed, when she plays with her toys, when she goes down to the basement and wants us to go down there and play with her. I have four cats total and two others meow when they want fed (one female is very insistent) however my fourth kitty rarely talks at all- I forget what her "meow" sounds like. My little one is constantly making noise, she is either purring or talking to us.

As one poster suggested, if you want your kitten to stop this make sure you don't respond to his "talking" because he is training you to respond to his meowing. It is too late for me- when my little one cries or talks to me I give her attention or come running. Good luck.

Wow,thank you so much for all the nice replies :)

Ifnyc,you are absolutely right about ignoring him.I didnt know that and kept telling him to stop.
After posting this,and doing some research online,I have found out that you are supposed to ignore them.That scolding in anyway (even squirting with water) is not suggested because what the kitten really wants is attention if it's negative.(who would have guessed that!!!)
That by coming to them or saying something to them,you are letting them know that if they cry long enough they will get what they want.(Just like a kid)

So I have been trying this...and at first it was really hard because he cried louder and louder and kept it going for like a straight hour!
But now he will do it for about 10 minutes then stop,so we are making progress.
And,he is just too adorable to stay annoyed with :)

And what I meant to say was that the kitten really wants attention ***EVEN if it is negative.(not that the kitten wants negative attention)
