is your kitty a maine coon? chloe didnt meow until she was about 6-7 mos and most of them were so tiny, i thought it was my roomie's squeaky door. however, she did YELL when she was scared, just no meows.

Some cats don't meow much at all and that's perfectly normal. My mom and dad's cat Misty (RIP) lived to be 21 and it wasn't until she hit around 18 that she started to meow. The vet said that there was nothing wrong with her..just that she didn't have anything to say!

Angel never made a sound when she meowed, either. Sometimes a little squeak, but that was it! I always wondered if she just hadn't used her little vocal cords for so long that she couldn't manage more than that squeak! It was so cute, though!

Yes this is what she does....she moves her mouth like a meow...but nothing comes out...LOL

That's called the "silent meow"

Mika doesn't meow either but she has a vocal box defect and just makes the cutest little noises that we've come to know and love.

Oliver didn't make a whole lot of noise when he was little, but now we can't get him to shut up! LOL!

See, Oliver and Mika really were meant for each other! She'd never be able to get a word in edgewise with him--he can do the talking for them both!
