A cat's meowing is so small that it feels like it can't be heard, which may be caused by genetics, colds, or foreign objects stuck in the throat. First of all, due to genetic reasons, some kittens are born with softer and hoarse meows, so owners don’t need to worry too much. Secondly, if the cat has symptoms of fever, cough, and lethargy at the same time, it may be caused by a cold. It is recommended to consult a pet doctor in time for medication. Finally, if the cat has symptoms of coughing and retching at the same time, and frequently scratches its throat, it may be caused by foreign matter stuck in the throat. You need to go to the pet hospital to take a X-ray examination and remove the foreign matter in time.

1. Genetic genes

If a kitten meows very little, it may be caused by genetic genes. The cat's meow is naturally soft and hoarse. As long as the cat has no other abnormalities, the owner does not need to worry too much. It is normal.

2. Cold

If the cat meows very little and also has symptoms of fever, cough, lethargy, and vomiting, it may be caused by the cat cold. Yes, I opened my mouth to scream but couldn't. In this regard, the owner should increase the cat's drinking water, increase the air humidity, provide the cat with aerosol treatment, and improve the kitten's diet. If the condition does not improve within three days, the owner needs to take the cat to a pet hospital immediately for professional treatment.

3. There is a foreign body stuck in the throat

If the cat suddenly meows very softly and feels unable to bark, and has symptoms of coughing and retching, it may also be because its throat is stuck. There is a foreign object. Due to discomfort in the throat, the cat's meows will become hoarse and the cat will feel unable to bark. At the same time, the cat's appetite will also decrease, and it will become more irritable and scratch its throat frequently. If it is suspected that there is a foreign body in the cat's throat, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for relevant imaging examinations in time to check the specific location of the foreign body and remove the foreign body in time.
