Dog Days
They said it better than I did:

"Brooklyn freelancer and blogger Amy says her cat seems to have been rendered mute in the wake of the blackout." -- from the Blackout Blog, which I'm guessing is a Jeff Jarvis production.

By the way, Megan says her huge dog was rather out of sorts due to the blackout as well.
