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. 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

it is probably using its wildlife senses. Cats in the wild hardlyever meow because ue body language to communicate. cats only meow because they noticed that we use sounds for communication so thats why they meow. Maybe your cat is just using its wild senses. Im not sure about this idea but maybe if you want him to meow again you should talk to him a lot in a high tone of voice.
