Q&A: My cat of 5 years old has the meow of a 6 week old kitten. What is wrong with her?
Question by : My cat of 5 years old has the meow of a 6 week old kitten. What is wrong with her?
When i first got my cat she was about 6-12 weeks old, and she couldn’t even make the slightest meow. she would open her mouth, but no sound came out. eventually once she was about 1 and a half years old she started meowing like a little bitty, new born kitten.
her meow has developed a little but i just found a stray kitten which i took in. the kitten, Patches, is a calico of about 10-14 weeks of age, maybe older, and she has a louder, or more mature meow than my 5 year old cat.
what is wrong with my elder cat? does anyone know? i mean if this helps at all to find the reason why here is some info about her: she doesn’t chew her food well; and she eats dry food, so she throws up often. she barely cleans herself. Is the breed called and American Bombay. is slightly obese and sleeps a lot. she is allergic to wet canned cat food, when she eats wet canned cat food it makes her droppings, or fesses runny and smellier than usual.

I have a cat who also has a tiny meow. I’ve heard it can be caused by an upper respiratory infection during kittenhood. That said, it sounds like she has a lot of issues beyond not having a voice. When was the last time she saw a vet?
Different cats have different voices, my old cat didnt meow much and when she did it was raspy. one of my cats now has a low soft meow and makes it sound like he has a stuffed nose but he always sounded like that. My other cat has a high pitched whiny meow. All cats are different lol
All cats have their own, unique meow.
My 15 year old (in February
) has the teeniest meow ever and always has.
Very high pitched and soft.
I have another cat that, dang, I think I’d be able to hear him across the street, he’s got a loud meow.
I have an “octave” cat that meows in octaves; it’s really cool.
I have a cat that meows with a fake mouse in it’s mouth when he wants to play, very odd sound.
Yup, each have their own unique meow.

ADD: After reading the rest of what you wrote, it sounds as if your cat has never been to the vet.
Sounds like your cat needs a Dental if having a hard time chewing food. ANY stinky stool is generally indicative of some type of illness. If throwing up often, your cat is in need of fluids subcutaneously (Sub-Q’s) as just drinking or even force-feeding water is not enough.
You need to get your cat to the vet, STAT so she can live out the rest of her life in comfort and love as she deserves.
Please take her to the Vet for a full blood work-up, urinalysis, fecal testing, x-ray (might have blockage, throwing up a lot is symptom), to get fluids – give your cat the care she is entitled to.
If you got her between “6-12 weeks old” there’s no way this cat is a Bombay. Breeders don’t let kittens leave the cattery until they’re 10-12 weeks old. This cat is simply a black domestic shorthair – nothing more.
No one online can diagnose this cat. Why haven’t you gotten it to the vet to be checked out??? Has it EVER seen a vet?
