My cat stopped Meowing??
It happens that William Graham formulated :
wrote in message ups.com... 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. 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 ? -- Count 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. -- ie ride fast, take chances. "BaldoniXXV @googlemail.com" baldoniXXVnil wrote in message ...

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. Joyce |

But if one of my cats suddenly came down with this problem, I would take them to the vet muy pronto........ |
