Yes, a cat can get a sore throat. I had a cat that developed laryngitis. His meow was a whisper. I took him to the vet and found that his throat was inflamed. An upper respiratory infection, but he had no other symptoms (no runny nose, eyes, etc.; just the inflamed throat). The vet gave him antibiotics and he was feeling better after a few days.

Smaller cats rely on other vocalizations, such as meowing and purring, to communicate.
