My 15 year old cat has just started squeaking when he tries to meow, sometimes not making any noise at all. He is pretty active, though not as much as he used to be. He has a great appetite, drinks plenty of water and has a firm grasp on where the litter pan is. He has always been very loving, but lately even more so. He wants to be near me all the time. I cannot think of any health reason that he would lose his voice, anyone have an idea???

I noticed several months back that one of my cat's front claws had become ingrown. I took her to the vet and they told me that she had injured it somehow. To keep an eye on this claw in particular, it will have a tendency to grow that way from now on. Well, I just went to clip her claws tonight and in a short time her 5th nails on both feet had become ingrown and the base of the nail is now a reddish brown. I know that I need to take her to the vet, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what is causing the discoloration.
