Silent Meowing Frequently

If your cat has a habit of using silent meows often, it may be because she's a pretty smart and savvy little thing. Silent meows are so cute that they often make people putty in their felines "hands," and cats are well aware of that. When your precious pet really wants something from you, she probably won't hesitate to let out a really high-pitched sound."

This may be why my baby is doing this. I am putty is in his little paws.
