My cat is dry swallowing and lost her meow. When should I see a vet?

Question

Hi there, Margo has been dry swallowing a lot for a few days. Two days ago she threw up (I think the only time). Yesterday she was really fearful and hissing at my roommate's cat. She stopped with him today, but now, along with the swallowing, she has lost her voice. Otherwise, she's acting pretty normal and nothing else appears wrong, and she's still eating/drinking. Does she need to be seen ASAP, or is she safe to keep on watch until Monday/payday? And, does this sound like something specific? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 years and 9 months old | 15 lbs

Margo could have something lodged in her throat or this could be a sign of nausea. As long as she is eating and not vomiting I think it’s probably okay to wait until Monday. If she has any other symptoms or seems to be getting worse you should see your vet sooner.
