Why does my cat meow silently? Is a silent meow normal for cats?

Oh my, Moxie is so handsome! Some cats are simply quieter than others, and it could simply be in his nature not to meow. Just like humans, cats have different personalities, and he could be more of an introvert who doesn't have much to say. If he has always been this way, then it's not something to worry about at all. I hope this helps you!

If Yoshi was able to meow before and now can't, then yes I would be concerned as that can be a sign of a respiratory infection. If he's always been like this, then I wouldn't be concerned as some cats do have silent meows. Have Yoshi seen by a vet if this is a new behavior in him.

Midnight is absolutely beautiful! It could be that she is suffering from laryngitis, which is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the larynx. Signs of laryngitis include hoarseness and/or loss of voice. It could also be that she's just a quiet cat who doesn't meow. I'd have her checked out by a vet this week just to be sure everything is ok. I hope this helps, and enjoy your new kitten!

How would you possibly know that your cat has high pitch ringing in her ear... Some cats meow less than others, very few do not meow at all though, I wouldn't say it's a sign of any medical condition unless you see her trying to meow and nothing come out.

If your cat is otherwise happy, healthy, and eating, drinking, and acting normally, I would not be too concerned. If however your cat is not acting like herself she may have an upper respiratory infection or something going on. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

I would not worry if Sagan doesn't have a voice all the time. Yes, siamese cats can be very vocal but there could always be that one that isn't. They can also have a raspy meow. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

I wouldn't be concerned if this is how he has always sounded. Upper respiratory infections are very common in young kittens and sometimes swelling can affect the vocal folds - it's possible that he had some scar tissue formed. It's also possible that this is how he was born. If he does have trouble swallowing or breathing, or if he regurgitates or vomits you should see your vet.
