Hi, our 11 week old kitten is meowing weirdly. Sometimes its a normal meow, other times its broken up. Like shes losing her voice. She hasnt been off, per say. Very active and lively, even gaining some much needed weight. Is this normal?

Congrats on getting a sweet kitten! I don’t think there is a major cause for concern here. You can try to get it on video and then show your vet next time she goes in for a checkup, but as long as she’s eating normally, is active and happy, gaining weight, and not showing any other symptoms, I don’t think you need to worry. Sometimes kittens sort of play with their voice, figuring out their different sounds. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
