Two of my cats, Zoe and Ozzy, were almost mute for a long time after we got them. Zoe did have the cutest little "squeak" sometimes, we could hardly hear it. The first time I really heard her meow was when we accidentally shut her in the office. Boy did she get vocal to let us know she was in there! Now, 8 years later, she is more vocal, but it's still more of a squeak than a meow.
Ozzy was just shy. He does have a regular-sounding meow, it just took him a long time to use it.
The other two, Hannah, a tortie with real tortitude, and Rico, a tuxie boy who's just a hyperactive little nut, talk non-stop, always have.
