It is possible for cats to develop laryngitis from overuse of their voice, just like people. If she is acting completely normal otherwise, I wouldn't worry - she may just be hoarse from meowing and purring to her kittens. We also sometimes see a hoarse or silent meow with upper respiratory infections in cats, so keep an eye out for any other symptoms such as sneezing or drainage from her eyes or nose. If she develops any of these symptoms, she should be checked by a vet as she may need an antibiotic.
