Oh no, poor Jiya sounds quite ill! If she cannot meow like normal and is vomiting after eating, she could have a foreign body in her throat preventing her from using her voice normally and keep food down. She could also be suffering from a respiratory infection causing the loss of her voice and vomiting. She needs to see a vet for this first thing in the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated.
