What kind of cat is it? I have two gray cats that barely bake any sound at all when meowing and most of the time they mane no sound. We think they are Chartreuse, a breed known to make minimal to no sound. Hope your cat is ok.

The only time my cat meows is when I take the dogs and her for a walk and she goes off in the woods away from us and can't find us when she's done doing whatever she does. Only cat I've ever had that didn't meow occasionally

Take her to the vet, could be a lyphatic tumor along the esophagus. If she just suddenly stopped meowing then it will be a matter of a few weeks until she has breathing problems. Had to have a cat put down because of that.

I have two cats, and neither of them can properly meow. One of them is just like you described. Her meow is either silent or raspy, and the other almost never meows unless she's in some sort of distress, and it comes out as a kitten's mew. Both are 7 1/2.

They're litter mates, and they were rescued from the side of the road at a very young age (just a couple of weeks) after their mother was run over, so we assume that they can't meow properly because their only interaction with cats has been with young kittens, until we adopted them at 10 weeks old.



This describes my cat as well. She was found as a kitten under a rose bush. Been with me eight years now, and I rarely hear a peep from her.

Doesn't bother me a bit, either.

She's asymptomatic otherwise. 8 1/2 years old, indoor/outdoor cat. No coughing or sneezing, still eating and drinking.

I know there are a lot of things that can cause a weak/nonexistent meow, but everything I turned up on Google came with other symptoms.


I would kill it.

Not because of anything you said, just because it's a cat.

I have a cat that can't hiss. The few times he's managed to do it, he scared himself.
