Health & Behaviour General / Re: Our cat can't meow properly

Hi,

So sorry for the delay in respondig to your message.  As you can tell the site is very quiet these days :(  I'm sorry we can't really suggest any medication as Louie really needs to be seen by a vet to see what the issue is.   There are a number of reasons and really a vet is the first point of call.

This link will give you an idea of possible causes.  Please seek vet advice asap.  https://www.petbucket.com/blog/63246/6-reasons-why-your-cat-has-lost-their-meow.html

Good luck  :hug:

General Cat Chat / felix is so smelly when Storm has a bowel movement

I experienced this with Bubz so am reasonably sure its not a one off. Is there an affordable and less pungent option to Felix pouches? Storm is eating the meat in jelly at the moment. She doesn't like the smell any more than me and my PA do, but I'm reluctant to mess around too much with her food at the moment. Moving out of Cats Protection having arrived there heavily pregnant with litter #2, the change is unsettling enough without me messing around with her food.

Cats Protection do that for all the cats as default, Liz. It's part of the rehoming process. I'd get it done anyhow anyway.

Aww, congratulations

Her name's Storm and she's been living at a Cats Protection shelter while she had kittens. This is her yesterday and my finger got a good "grooming"

Health & Behaviour General / Our cat can't meow properly
« Last post by CarterUSM on June 21, 2024, 09:06:21 AM »
Hi
Our cat Louie, a 12yo female, is seemingly unable to meow properly at the moment. Instead of the typical meow sound, she is currently only able to make a rather raspy, squeaky sound, and this has been ongoing for the last week or so. Otherwise, she appears to be perfectly healthy; she is eating and moving normally, is displaying no external signs of pain or illness.  (We don’t think it’s laryngitis, having examined the various symptoms, but obviously don’t know this for certain). Unfortunately, she is very difficult to catch; she is resolutely an outdoor cat who refuses to come inside our house.
We have thought that the recent very hot weather may have been a factor (we live in Cyprus, where no appreciable rain falls between April and October), but our other cat has not experienced the same problem (although she is much more of an indoor cat than Louie).
Our veterinary clinic has advised us that they really need to examine her physically in order to make a proper diagnosis, but for reasons stated above this is not practical.
Would anyone be able to suggest any medication which may ease this condition, without requiring taking her to the vet for examination?
Very many thanks in anticipation of your assistance.

Both Hamish and Misty (RIP) would gang up on me at 4/5am and do this, they used to hear the alarm clock make the tiniest of sounds about 5 minutes before it went off, that would also trigger them  :evillaugh: god I miss them   :( Both Robbie and Rosie don't bother, tho Rosie does wander about the house singing the song of her people  :innocent:

Oh Helena,

I'm so sorry to hear the news about Bubz :(  My heart goes out to you having gone through deterioration with Rossi I understand how hard it is to say farewell.

Bubz was clearly a very well loved lady as she reach such a wonderful age.  I totally understand not wanting to throw her toys away ... I still have all my furkids favourites tucked away safely  :hug:

RIP Sweetheart, play hard at the bridge with so many Puurs babies :(
