Vocalizing

Question
Two weeks ago we adopted a beautiful little black cat from the SPCA.  She purrs and is becoming less shy each day.  However, she has never said a word and we are not sure if she is able to speak or has a voice.  Are there breeds of cats that do not vocalize?

Answer
Some cats just have nothing much to say.  She may start vocalizing as she gets more comfortable with you, or she may never say much.  I have 4 cats.  One does not say very much at all.  The other three never shut up.  You can never tell about cats.  :)  That's what makes them fun.  Hugs, Barb
