How to tell if a cat is dumb

Cat muteness (also known as aphonia) is a rare disease that is usually caused by a problem with the throat. If you suspect your cat may be mute, you can check it out by:

1. Observe the cat's mouth: Open the cat's mouth and observe whether its tongue, mouth and throat are abnormal.

2. Observe the cat's breathing: Mute cats usually breathe steadily, but they may show other signs of difficulty in absorbing oxygen, such as panting, rapid breathing, etc.

3. Interact with the cat: Try to attract the cat's attention with toys or food, and observe whether it will respond with a sound.

It should be noted that cats are not necessarily mute, even if they do not make any sound. Some cats are quieter than others, and this does not mean they are dumb or have a health problem.

If you think your cat is dumb or has any health problems, take it to your veterinarian immediately for examination and treatment. Your veterinarian can give your pet a complete physical exam and confirm if there is a health problem.
