Hi all,

I have two adult kitties.  Over a week ago, I noticed that the younger
one, Inky, began rasping a bit when she meowed.  A few days later it
was gone completely, and though she'll open her mouth and try to meow,
no sound comes out at all.

I called my vet's office for advice.  The technician asked if there
were any other changes.  I told her none - her food is the same, she's
eating well, drinking water, begs for treats and romps and plays with
her sister, same as always.  She's also as snuggly and affectionate as
ever.

The vet tech suggested there might be many nonserious reasons,
including allergies (Inky is a solid white shorthair except for a few
smokey "inkspots" on her head - hence the name - and prone to mild ear
and eye troubles as many white animals are).  She went on to say that
as long as she seemed fine in every other way, it was probably nothing
and her voice would return in time.

So far it hasn't, and I'm concerned.  Has anyone ever experienced this
before?  Any advice?

Thanks!
