    Normally Talkative Cat Suddenly Silent

    So my cat Rodney (Rodney Dangerfield) is usually extremely talkative. Anytime I come near him he meows, is under foot, and just wants to be close to me. This afternoon I noticed he seemed unusually quiet. Not totally out of the ordinary since he's usually napping during the afternoon. But...
