Kitten Isn't Meowing

RE: Kitten Isn't Meowing By catastrofy (285) Contact 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.

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. If it has this type of cat in it's genes, then it is normal. How is it otherwise? Does it seem healthy? That's all that matters, besides a chatty cat can be irritating.

I've had cats all my life, and he's the first squeaker.

A couple of them were foundlings who had gotten parasites in their throat area. Others had nothing wrong, just weren't very vocal. none of them had any problems later in life.

Posted on 06/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Isn't Meowing By hedera (168) Contact 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 Posted on 06/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Isn't Meowing By cybergrannie (25) Contact 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.

After that we couldn't shut her up, she was a real talker. Posted on 06/02/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Isn't Meowing By Robyn Fed (444) Profile Blog! Contact Maine Coon Cats and mixes have a squeak and not a meow they are so adorable! Posted on 05/29/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Isn't Meowing By thriftyengineer (43) Contact 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. So no it's probably not abnormal. He is a total sweetie and very healthy. Our older kitty he has a louder meow so he makes up for the little one. Posted on 05/28/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Kitten Isn't Meowing By Cricketnc (336) Profile Blog! Contact 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! It's rare that one grows up not meowing, and if it does there is an abnormality in its voicebox. As long as it is an indoor cat there's no problem. But I'd venture to say yours will develop his voice in another month or so.

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. Posted on 05/28/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
