Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2005My cat tries to meow but nothing comes out.
Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing right. She tries to meow but when she does nothing comes out. Why would she not be able to meow? > Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing right. > She tries to meow but when she does nothing comes out. Why would she not > be able to meow? She was taken too soon from her mom. It falls to you know to teach her how to meow. Just meow to her as correctly and often as you can. You should see results in a couple of weeks. Dont get discouraged! >Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing right. >She tries to meow but when she does nothing comes out. Why would she not >be able to meow? You should have her checked, but my Spooky was almost completely silent for almost ten years. He started meowing - quietly and seldom - only after we moved to the country.  SignatureT.E.D.

His mouth would open and air would come out, but no sound ... or at least nothing loud enough for me to hear. Sometimes I thought I heard a faint "eh eh eh" sound but I could never be sure. Last night I realized that Tigger is also mostly silent - he came to me in the bed and I was going through the process of identifying which cat it was by touch and had almost decided it was him, then he made an "Ach" kind of sound and I completely lost the identification ... then I realized that was the first sound I had ever heard from him.

She said a lot of cats do this when exposed to a new object, person or situation. It's their way of really 'taking it in', inhaling whatever smell there was, kind of like, 'taking in the situation'. Maybe that's what it is. SignatureShirley B. To reply by email, remove'nick'.

This morning I decided to lie in ... Micky came at 5.30 and lamented so badly that the whole household woke up. He is so vocal that we just call him 'The Meow'. I must say I'd rather have a silent cat ... Carola : Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing right. : She tries to meow but when she does nothing comes out. Why would she not : be able to meow? How old is the cat? I think it's just a low meow. Cindy is like that, but when she was in heat she surprised everyone with her organ. First I thought it was the tom, but then I realised that it's her robbing my sleep. Carola > Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing > right. > She tries to meow but when she does nothing comes out. Why would she not > be able to meow? I have 7 cats all together, and 4 are sister's. All from a feral cat we have been trying to catch her to spay her, but she's just to smart! 2 from the same litter, 1 from the previous litter, and one from the very first litter. In all there about 2 year about in age. The youngest 2 are 8 months old. Anyway, none of them can meow. Sometimes a squeak will comes out, but usually they open there mouths and nothing comes out. The vet says it's normal. Some cats just don't meow for some reason. Some of there litter mates meow, but not mine. My other 3 cats are very vocal on the other hand and can hold conversations with you! >> Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing >> right.

My other 3 cats are very vocal on the : other hand and can hold conversations with you! We got three cats, semi-feral, and two of them don't meow, just squeak but it is very endearing. I wonder if there isn't a lot of truth to the idea that they need to be taught, but they've been around several other cats that do meow and they haven't learned in a couple of years. >: > Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing >: > right.

I think that may bed true about hissing. We had two cats, neither of whom ever hissed. When we added another who did hiss, both of the first two learned to hiss.

I have 4 cats; 2 meow, 1 warbles (constantly) and the last just squeaks. If it's a new thing and Sassy was meowing before, I'd take her to the vet. It is alleged that Jaci Kemme via CatKB.com claimed: ; Hi my name is Jaci (pronounced Jackie), My cat sassy is not meowing right. ; She tries to meow but when she does nothing comes out. Why would she not ; be able to meow? My kitten Delany (5 1/2 months old) doesn't meow either. She will sometimes open her mouth as if she was going to speak, but all that comes out is an "eh" sound. I adopted her at about 8 weeks from a local rescue shelter, and she was spayed/neutered at 10 weeks. She was born at the shelter, her mother was given to the shelter while pregnant. I know her voice +can+ work, because early on she'd literally get underfoot while I was in the kitchen.
