Why is my cat not meowing and acting painful around his head?

Question

My cat has always had a bit of a croaky meow but now he has no meow at all. He also does not seem to want to be touched on his head and is flicking his ears. If I try to stroke him he is cowering away and his ears go flat down. Something is obviously bothering him. Do you have any ideas? Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered | 9.2 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! These are possible signs of pain and/or discomfort. I am concerned that Tommy may have some discomfort and that something could be bothering him perhaps in his head or neck area. I would recommend that you consider having him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. An examination would help determine if that is what is going on so that therapy if needed can be started. Good luck and have a great day!
