Has he got laryngitis? Or has he swallowed something that might be lodged in his throat and is causing an irritation? Have you spoken to/visited a vet to see what might be wrong?

If your cat has usually been vocal, I'd go with Yola above and take him along to see the vet.

If this is out of character for him then I'd get him along to the vet for a wee check. Better safe than sorry.

My Stan had similar symptoms a while back but he was retching as well. I took him to the vet and he had an infection and was on pills for a while. Then he got his voice back!

I agree it would be wise to get him to the vet. Coughing, swallowing, loss of voice...may not be too serious if he's eating OK and playing, but better safe than sorry......

I wonder if he swallowed something or choked and it made him hoarse?? I would get him checked out
