Hi,

Is there a surgery to stop a cat meowing? My wife wants to get rid of
one of our cats, and I'm looking for an alternative.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try having your wife's head surgically removed from her butt.

Before I suggest the same for you, have you even considered training
the cat?

Finding out why she is crying?

How does your wife feel about you talking? When the cat meows, he/she
is trying to tell you something. If you try, you can learn to
understand it. Do you have kids? How does she feel about them?
There are a lot of things to figure out here.

Well, what else would you have kitty do? Speak Japanese? =^_^=

In all seriousness, you can have the voice box altered or removed. I know
one cat that has had this done, and instead of meowing, it sounds like it
is hissing. Very strange, and almost as bad as declawing IMO.

BTW, is this a female cat? Perhaps the surgery is not in the voice box,
but in that she needs to be spayed once she is out of heat.

And if it's a siamese, well, they're talkative by nature.

Instead, as Mary suggested, I recommend taking your wife to the ER.
Having your head inserted into your rectum is extremely dangerous.

I can vouch for that. Only half Siamese, but got the chatter genes,
for sure. Kami talks all the time. Sometimes just hums and grunts,
but always has a comment.

Mine all talk.
I don't think there's any Siamese in there, but you'd think so.
*hehe*

Personally, I can't see why anyone would want a cat and NOT want it to
talk.
I (and probably my girls) taught my boy. He was very quiet when he came
to live with me. He used to do the open-mouth-nothing-comes-out meow.
He's getting there, though Isis still has everyone beat when she wants
petted and Rowan beats everyone when she wants to go out. *g*

Oh, I've wanted her to just shut up sometimes. But I've learned to
tune it out when I'm pretty sure she doesn't need anything. Sort of
like a kid saying, "Mommy... mommy... mommy...mommy..." and then just
giving you a stupid grin when you finally say, "WHAT?! For god sakes
WHAT?!" ;)

OMG, that SO reminds me of Isis!!
*ROFL*

Sometimes she just follows me around, meowing. Usually this means she
wants picked up, but occasionally, I think she just likes the sound of
her own voice. heh

LOL! That's always a possibility. But when *I* walk around meowing
(singing), she leaves the room.
