No Meow!!!!

[crisper]

Hi everyone... took our boy to the vets on Friday night... he'd been vomiting a bit..and retching/urging .. during the afternoon..it stoped...until 7 ish... but got really bad again..so as I said.. took him to the vet.. who gave him a really good check all over.. found nothing wrong... gave him an anti - vomiting injection..and said keep an eye.. bring him back if it worsens.. etc... well he's got better and better each day... now is back to his normal grumpy self..lol... but had lost his meow!!! Do you think he may have a sore throat from all the vomiting.. retching etc?? awww poor puss... Mrs C xx

Stands a good chance imo, crisper.

cat's can get tonsilitis the same as humans. My previous cat lost his meow after getting tonsilitis. He had a rather pathetic meow after that. He never fully recovered his voice I'm afraid to say.

[tonyav]

Wish our bloody cat would lose hers, drives me round the bend !.

[crisper]

Thanks Tony & Cupid... lol...bless... his sister wil make up for him.. she's like a foghorn! ta everso for your replies!

Our cat lost his meow after being hit with a car on the main road. It never returned, we put it down to post traumatic stress or something!! He still seemed like a happy cat and lived 5 years after the accident in good physical health!!

Hope your young lad feels better soon and can start screaming at you and bossing you around.

Young Francis screamed all the way to the vet and home again on Friday - he was shaking too much to meow properly whilst in he surgery. Brave he is not.

Does she still meow, ladybirder ?.

[ladybirder]

Oh yes tony. Very vocal.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, wonder why no purr but can still meow ?.

[lcg]

My cat only started purring at the age of ten. She was a foundling who had obviously been beaten and maltreated horribly. I'm sure your kitty's meow will come back x

[tiggerblue10]

Blue is very vocal but she sqeaks a lot. She started squeaking at the vets one day and the vet nurse thought she could hear a kitten.

I'm sure puss will fine Crisper x

[ladybirder]

Tony it seems it is something that can happen with age and nobody seems to know why. She stopped at 18 and is now 20.

[DaisyNonna]

Purr like an engine Tony?

[tonyav]

Strange though isn't it, ladybirder. I've not heard of that before.

yes Daisy, like a big block V8.

[ladybirder]

It really is strange tony. You pick up a cat and put it over your shoulder and stroke it and expect that big engine purr to kick in and it doesn't. I don't expect her to start again now:-(

Sorry for going off piste crisper.

[tonyav]

I don't think that I have ever come across a cat that doesn't purr.

[DaisyNonna]

Have absolutely no idea of that which you mention.
Had a cute metallic blue VW.
