I leave hard food out for mine to snack on, plus wet meals. One of my cats was eating more dry food than the others and its voice changed. I immediately suspected the dry food and started feeding it wet food only. I think it's voice has changed back, but in any case surely that was the problem (I'll post a follow-up later).(snip)

Thank you, that'd be interesting. I'd vaguely recalled that a mix of wet
and dry is best but I don't remember why and, indeed, with multiple
cats, I guess it can be a challenge to watch consumption to make sure
each is getting enough balance.
Yep. Her regular sounding meow is back. There was another symptom that
came and went in the same timeframe. I'm very confident that was the
problem.
FWIW... The dry food it snacks on can be put in a plastic zipper bag
(maybe 1/5 full) with some water. It saturates, and when served it remains moist for a long time. Probably better to use too little water than too
much water in the mixture, it should not be runny. Rinsing that bag
opening under running water helps keep it clean between servings. Probably refrigerate. It probably doesn't taste good, but "Toobig" can cope with it for necessary snacks.

If cats are demand-eaters and are good drinkers, a high quality dry food (which is NOT "Meow-Mix"), will be an important part of a good diet. Cats that are either dehydrated, poor drinkers, cannot be allowed to be demand-eaters for concerns about
So, lets us look at some terms:apparently foreign to Doe, who seems to feel that everything should be automatic. Pets require interaction, care, feeding, even love...
"Can hurt your cat's throat." Yep, so can lye, sawdust and other materials. Tell me something I DO NOT already know. Dry food *will* do damage under specific conditions and if not reasonably monitored. the key is monitoring, a concept that is
