Ebony is VERY vocal for a one year old female. Every now and then she goes on a burst of chatter. Soon afterward, she looses her voice and nothing comes out! It is so funny. After a day or so she is back to normal.

But I don't want to stop you checking iwth your vet. I DID, the first time this happened, shortly after I got her in July 06. With 6 other cats in the house, I can't afford to have anyone getting anything contagious and not have it checked out. That is why I know it is just her "over exercising her vocal chords."
