Here's me thinking it's because they can change their molecular density at will, which is why a 12 pound cat sounds like a 600 pound Shetland pony when it's galloping through the house at night.

every cat we've had except this current one was so very quiet (they liked stalking us around corners and slapping our booties) but our current calico, she has never heard the word quiet. i think they found her in a dumpster by the freeway and she's a little deaf or something, she is the sweetest.
