Cat - deeping moaning cry

I believe that a hyperactive thyroid was diagnosed about a year ago - but
the vets advice was that was nothing really that can be done.

He may have a hyperactive thyroid. Have him vet checked.

Our cat is 17 years old and is in reasonable health for his age.

However, about a six months ago he started to emit this very deep
moaning cry, almost a growl.

He usually starts this when he comes through the cat flap back into
the house, or perhaps in the middle of the night when nobody is
around.

Is this usual? Any ideas what this might mean?

If the vet really told you this, then he should have his license to
practice revoked. There are several options for treating hyperthyroid,
medication and radioactive iodine therapy being the two most common. One
of the symptoms of hyperactive thyroid in cats is excessive
vocalization, which often stops once treatment is started.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

What????!!!!! Please go see another vet. This poor cat could have been
feeling much better by now with at least some medication, readily available.
That is just plain bad vet care.

Your vet is WRONG. Untreated it can cause death. See another vet.
