My cat's meow is suddenly quiet. Is it serious or should I wait?

Question

We are concerned about our vocal indoor/outdoor cat, Loki. He normally has a high pitch “meow” and last night he sounded muted. He was “meow-ing” but only a whisper “meow” came out. Today is day two and his “meow” is still sounding broken and off. He is acting normal and seems totally fine besides his “meow”. What could it be? Should we be super worried or go to the vet?

If he is acting otherwise normally I would give him a few days to see if the problem resolves. If not, he should see the vet. You didn't mention Loki's age but if he is a bit older a thyroid problem can cause a loss of the "meow".
