Kitten Question
I've had 1 other cat, but we adopted it at around 1year old, was a great cat, we loved it, it loved us, we lost him :'( kids were heart broken...
So, the kids have been after us to get a new kitten for quite some time and we just recently gave in. We visited a young lady who had a cat problem. She had several adult cats with no money for spade/neuter, so 3 litters of kittens this spring.. We donated a little money for vet bills and took 1 kitten off her hands. The kids picked out a little black and white Sylvester look alike, a male, we named him 'Cotton' (cool name I thought, the kids came up with it)
This kitten has no voice, he tries to meow but can only muster a faint whine, sometimes sounds like his voice is cracking. The plan is to take him to the vet next month for all of his shots, and neutering, hopefully everything will check out a-ok. He's currently about 9 weeks old. He is very active, plays, eats, uses the litter box like you'd expect, no other visible issues that I can detect from my limited experience.
The question is: Is it normal for a kitten to have no voice at this age? Will he grow into it? is there something wrong with this cat? Is this a sign of some common issue I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your help/advice..
