Cat Strange Meow, Wants To Be Sick.
17 Answers
My cat has suddenly developed a higher pitched meow, like she has a sore throat, she tried to eat today and kept 'reaching' as if she wanted to be sick, every time she did this, she brought her front paws up to her mouth ! She has eaten a few biscuits, could there be something stuck in her throat and if so, would she have been able to eat the biscuits?

It might be worth having a look in your cat's mouth and see if you can see anything. If not, sounds like a trip to the vet would be in order. I hope she's OK

Sometimes, if cats eat grass (which they do... ) a blade of grass can slip down quite easily, but the very nature of that piece of grass (smooth going down, bladed when trying to get it out) means your little one may have a piece in her throat...so easy going down...cant cough up as the 'blades' prevent....take her to vet darling asap partic if blood is seen as it may be aggravating her throat which may cause further probs...good luck.
Thanks all, she's a tough old cat and has just eaten some of our lamb ... seems to be having trouble swallowing though, keeps putting her head forward when she swallows. I will defo take her if this keeps on, although bank holiday today so they are shut. Not noticed the 'reaching' since last posting. maybe she's just being polite and covering her mouth, it was a bit odd to watch! Yes she would shred my hand to pieces if I tried to open her mouth, best leave it to the vet ...
