Is my kitten sick? He's stopped meowing normally and all he can make is a hoarse chirping sound. His appetite is fine.

A change in the voice generally indicates an illness. I recommend to have your kitten seen by the veterinarian who may prescribe medications to ease inflammation and any discomfort in the throat. I hope Peabo starts feeling better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
