My vocal cat can't meow but seems fine. When should I call the vet?

Question

3-4 y/o female tabby, very vocal, unable to meow when I woke this morning. No other symptoms noticed. 12 hours later, still active & purring, no discharge from nose/eyes, eating normally, can barely manage a squeak. Just occurred to me that she has always made some breathing noises, especially when sleeping. Google research leads me to believe the sensible course of action is to monitor her for a couple of days before deciding to schedule a veterinarian visit. Any reason to think otherwise?

No reason to think otherwise at this point in time if Sgt. Katherine Pepper (LOVE her name!) is acting normally. If other symptoms do appear like ones you mentioned above or her meow does not come back in 48 hours, then have her seen by a vet. I hope this helps!
