Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2007My cat stopped Meowing??
My cat, Sebastian, is an indoor/outdoor cat. He regularly plays outside all day and comes in when he wants. But when I got home today, Sebastian came inside with me and just opened his mouth like he would when he would meow, but nothing came out. I've never seen him do this before, usually he's fairly vocal. Its been a few hours now and he still just acts like he wants to meow, but can't. I'm kind of concerned, could he have gotten into something outside, or can cats lose their voice like people do if he overused it while he was outside? If anyone knows of anything, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks in advance. my cat gets this sometimes, i think his allergies either act up or he gets some hair in his throat which is throwing off his voice. :My cat, Sebastian, is an indoor/outdoor cat.

I'd take him to the vet and have him checked out....He could have some foreign object caught in his throat, and if he does, it could be very painful and become infected....cats don't have many ways to communicate their pain to human beings....I have had them die without me knowing that there was anything wrong with them until it was way too late.......

My mothers cat Chic (9 months)has never meowed, is this strange or normal with some cats ?  SignatureCount Baldoni BALDONI REX ROMANORUM we have one that does not meow, also. She makes a squeaking, sort of a peeping noise. Not common but not a worry. Sometimes amusing.

Sometimes amusing. If your cat has *never* meowed, then that's normal for her. But for a cat to stop suddenly for no apparent reason *is* a cause for concern, IMO. Any sudden change in normal behavior should be checked out. It might be the only indication you get that something's not right.

One of my cats squeaks also but my mothers cat makes no sound at all. He made a slight noise when going to the vets.

Our feral male squeaks instead of meowing like normal cats do.....His name is Smokey, but we sometimes call him "squeaker" because of the miniscule sound he makes....This is probably an advantage to a male feral cat.....Less chance that some irate redneck will shoot at him....So, I would guess that it's not too uncommon. But if one of my cats suddenly came down with this problem, I would take them to the vet muy pronto........ >My mothers cat Chic (9 months)has never meowed, is this strange or >normal with some cats ? Some cats hardly make a sound unless they are distressed or warning off a strange cat.

Our Oriental Shorthairs are bred from Siamese and they yell at us every day. On Jun 11, 10:07 pm, jon.shu...@gmail.com wrote: > My cat, Sebastian, is an indoor/outdoor cat.

Hi Jon, Only just seen your message - I've been away for a while. By now, Sebastian has probably recovered - I hope so. If not, he needs to see a vet. Some years ago, one of my cats stopped talking. She always talked - quite stridently, too. We took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with a very sore throat, which was treated. As a cat who regularly 'talks' to you, Sebastian will really miss this form of expression. Worse still, he may find it uncomfortable eating. Do keep an eye on him and, if he still seems silent, let the vet take a look at him. Spider |
