Thanks for using pet coach. IF she use to meow and now does not I would recommend taking her to the vet for a good exam. Some health issues can cause a decrease in vocalization in our pets. However, if Bella never meowed much or was not a very vocal kitty to begin with than this is most likely just her personality. YOu can try to increase play or find a special treat she likes and see if that helps at all
