Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2005My Neighbors Cat and Weird Meows
I had to feed the neighbors cat this weekend and he makes the strangest sounds, not quite a meow, he vocalizes in vocal phrase that is spit/purr/eeeuiiii all together, or just a eeeuiiii. Is there something that causes a cat not to meow right? I have some suspicion he may be diseased, but I'm not sure. He is about a 1 year old intact male, and the very strange neighbor lady refuses to have him fixed, only because he's not spraying and wants him to sow his oats. My inside only cat hates him, he's really weird like she is and I'm tempted to take him to a shelter. I've seen and heard other cats that don't meow right and wonder if there is something really wrong with them.

Anybody know? 4 cats; they all sound different; one meows, one grunts, one mrr?s and one squeaks; take your pick. pat >> I had to feed the neighbors cat this weekend and he makes the strangest >> sounds, not quite a meow, he vocalizes in vocal phrase that is [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > pat I've got two cats. One has a multitude of meows grunts and rolling gurrrs and comes up with new ones all the time. The other cat never meows, just kind of groans in different pitches, communicates more with looks, teeth, posture and such. Ask the owner if that's normal for that cat.

Anybody know? Nothing wrong at all! There are about 50 (or more?) different types of meow. I hear 15 of them alone in my own household. Carola I would have the SPCA send this person material regarding their neutering program and why it is so important. If it annoys her, so what; she can get somebody else to feed it. > I had to feed the neighbors cat this weekend and he makes the strangest > sounds, not quite a meow, he vocalizes in vocal phrase that is [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups > ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- > I had to feed the neighbors cat this weekend and he makes the strangest > sounds, not quite a meow, he vocalizes in vocal phrase that is [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I've seen and heard other cats that don't meow right and wonder if there is > something really wrong with them. Anybody know? My guess that the strange mewoing is the result of combinational stress due to separation from owner plus desire to breed, as he's not fixed (big mistake, I have to add). Tomcats can be very talkative anyway and given the circumstances ("I want to go out to meet girls, but instead they left me alone in the closed house") this 'combinational' meowing could be a sign of complaining when somebody visits him. Cheers, Alex a fellow cat lower >> I had to feed the neighbors cat this weekend and he makes the strangest >> sounds, not quite a meow, he vocalizes in vocal phrase that is [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >Alex >a fellow cat lower No, he just has a weird meow, and she leaves a window open for him, she claims he says "mama". I've tried talking her into neutering him, even offered to loan her the money, she flat out says no. Hopefully when he starts spraying in her already filthy house she'll do something. She is a drug addict and has dirty clothes piled 4 feet high in every chair, table, the sofa and floor. I don't know what else I can do. Would catnapping and taking him to the pound be immoral in this circumstance? If he ever disappears surely she will blame me, I don't want to be a bad guy. >>>I had to feed the neighbors cat this weekend and he makes the strangest >>>sounds, not quite a meow, he vocalizes in vocal phrase that is [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > circumstance?

Have you considered helping *her* ? (okay, a little comment) pat : Would catnapping and taking him to the pound be immoral in this : circumstance? Yes. : If he ever disappears surely she will blame me, I don't : want to be a bad guy. Yes. If it were me, I'd maybe "disappear" him (maybe if she's away for a couple of days?), take him to the vet and get him done (it's a very quick procedure). I'd consider it a public service. She may well not even realise it has happened, the incisions are often so tiny! Cheers Cat |
