Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign is often secondary to an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a pharyngitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

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!
