My cat makes strange noises and can only squeak when meowing.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 14 years and 3 months old | 16.5 lbs

My cat has started making noises when he sleeps or starts purring kind of like a bulldog type of sound. He’s also pretty much totally lost his voice unless he’s really trying to meow, and then just a squeak comes out.

I am sorry to hear that Charle has something going on. I worry about the possibility of a mass in the airway causing a partial airway obstruction. I would highly encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and I hope you find an answer soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
