I have a 2-3 week old orphan kitten that does not meow. He makes a little squeaking sound that you can hardly hear. Is that normal?

I raised a kitten that does not meow because her vocal cords never developed. Do you meow at her or not? My cat and I chat all the time. Maybe if you talk to your cat in meows it will help or take the cat to the vet and get there opinion.
It's that my kitten can't meow. He's happy. His nose is wet. He meowed 4 times in 7 months. He's well taken care for. ???????.
Don't worry at all. Many kittens that young make that squeak noise instead of meowing until they get to be sometimes 3-4 months old. Once he discovers his meow you'll wish he'd go back to squeaking!
My cat is now 8 months old and still just squeaks at times she has never meowed so far I was wondering why? And will she ever start meowing or is something wrong
We got our kitty when he was about 8-12 weeks old. He is now over half a year old and we always laugh because his meow is soooo tiny it's almost inaudible.
Maine Coon Cats and mixes have a squeak and not a meow they are so adorable!
Our cat didn't meow for about 4 years, she too was an orphan. After that we couldn't shut her up, she was a real talker.
We have a beautiful white cat that has a very low meow. We always tell people his meow in on mute. Nothing wrong with cats like this.
I also have a 5 week old white kitty he to has a very very low meow, Oh but can he eat and poop all day and his anal is an outty
It is normal. Kittens have a squeak, which in time turns into a meow. Also, they're a bit like babies, they will cry when they need something. Good Luck
Absolutely normal! Tiny kittens sort of make "eep" sounds.
Hey i got caught a stray kitten she is about 5-7 weeks old i think an she doesnt meow an when she trys to nothing comes out an im tryin to tame her cuz her mother just left an hasnt came back
I've had several kittens over the years who didn't meow. A couple of them were foundlings who had gotten parasites in their throat area.
Our male tabby squeaked for a couple of years; he no longer squeaks, but has a very soft meow. I've had cats all my life, and he's the first squeaker.
I had a kitten once. My husband worked at a grocery store & someone had thrown a Himalayan kitten in the trash (not show quality), he saved it from being crushed, it was so tiny. Well, she couldn't meow, only squeaks, sweet.
I have several cats and they all sound different. One very large cat sounds like a little bird! As long as your kitten is healthy, don't worry about the squeak. It is part of their personality.
Molly was two days old when we found her. She was squeaking then, and still does. We are nuts about her and love it when she squeaks. At first if she got stuck in the basement she would just wait for someone to open the door, but now she lets us know one way or another.
Aww what a sweetie
i have 2 cats, Miss Purrtington (Purrdy to friends and family) is a 9 month old dainty tortie and talks to me all the time, and purrs gently. Mr Meowlingham (Meowgli to friends and family) is a 7 month old ginger and white tom. He has one of the loudest purrs I have ever heard in a cat.....but only the faintest squeak of a meow. Obviously they got their names mixed up!!!!
