דון על Kiki's Delivery Service

I didn't quite understand if the cat stopped speaking to Kiki because of her changes or because of his? Even at the end after she saves the boy the cat appears not to speak to her. At the credits sequence we see Jiji is grown up and with his kittens, one of which is magical cat like him. We also see them both keep flying with Kiki, but it was not fully clear from the movie if he returned to speak to her. I actually suspect that it is Jiji who stopped talking because he found his mate, not because Kiki suddenly stopped understanding him.
Anyone familiar with the original novel care to explain? What are the reasons to lose magic powers? And why there were no witches in the town? Because few characters in the movie looked like they could've been witches, maybe in the past and they lost powers.

This is from the link below:

Jiji doesn't speak (in human words, at least) to Kiki anymore, because they grew up, not because she lost a power. In the original book, it is explained that a witch girl and a black cat are raised together from infancy, and that's why they can "talk" to each other (notice that Kiki's mom never talks with Jiji directly). They are able to talk to each other because of their close relationship, rather than magic itself (a cat being able to live so long could be magic, though). Miyazaki made Jiji not be able to talk to Kiki even after she regained her power to show that Kiki has grown, and doesn't need her "other self" anymore. Miyazaki says, "The most important thing for Kiki is [...] whether she can meet various people on her own. As long as she is flying on the broom with her cat, she is free. But, to live in a town, to get training means that she has to be able to walk the town alone and talk to people, without her broom or her cat." Kiki and Jiji can start a new relationship as independent personalities. They remain friends, with other meaningful relationships (such as Lily and the kittens for Jiji) added on.
