From my experience with Toygers, they do chirp and trill quite a bit, but body language is definitely their primary communication tool. I’ve had a Toyger for three years now, and she’ll chirp when she’s excited to see me or wants attention, but most of the time, her ears, tail, and posture tell me everything. For instance, a slow blink means she’s relaxed, while a puffed tail says she’s startled. So, it’s a mix, but body language is the backbone. Let me know if you want me to break down specific signals-I can walk through each one step by step.

Body language takes the lead with Toygers, but they definitely use vocalizations too. My own Toyger, Leo, trills when he’s content and chirps at birds outside the window, yet his tail flicks and ear positions carry the real conversation. For example, a low, swishing tail and flattened ears tell me he’s annoyed far more clearly than any sound.

I've found vocalizations like chirps and trills are more common than people expect, especially during play or greeting. My Toyger, Jasper, lets out a distinct chirp when he spots a toy I'm about to toss, but his body language - a crouched stance with a twitching tail - signals his hunting mode. The trills come out when he's genuinely pleased, like after a good meal, yet I'd say body language carries the weight for everyday cues, like a half-lidded stare meaning he's content to just watch.
