She was sick with a cold and sneezed alot about a month ago. She got better after about a week so I didn't see a reason to get her checked out at the vet. Well, 4-6 weeks later and she has this terrible harsh raspy meow. Sounds like she's been a smoker for 25yrs. Otherwise she seems healthy. Eating, pooping just fine. That voice! Do you think there may be something wrong?

If she has a good appetite, uses the litter box regularly, has clear eyes, normal temperature (feel her ears) and holds her tail up when she walks, I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe you could look into her doing an anti smoking commercial.

If she is eating healthy, and acting the same, give it time. Otherwise take her to a vet. But if it doesn't clear up in a couple weeks you should get it checked.

If she's otherwise healthy I wouldn't worry about it too much. You might try calling the vet and talking to him about it. Maybe the illness affected her throat, similar to when we humans have colds sometimes.

Definitely could be or a sign of other sickness. If your cat is older, hyperthyroidism could be the cause. An exam by your veterinarian is the only sure bet. It's blank for an exam and the piece of mind is priceless.

No. I have a cat who does not meow like a regular domestic cat, more like a raspy siamese. In the dark, you know who's talking.

Could be swelling due to the cold. If she's breathing ok the voice will come back.

Give it a few days (3 or so) and if it isn't better go to a vet.
