It could have also been Oshino imitating her voice to mess with Araragi, although the exclamation "panai no" is the same she used in Nise.
Then again it's not like she is mute, she just lacks the will to talk.

The first cat was the embodiment of Hanekawa's stress from 15 years of life with her parents, so it was the strongest. Araragi couldn't even see its movements, which means a lot since his vampire factor increases his dynamic vision.

That part is not irrelevant at all. That part is very important for the development of the story in Neko Black, with Neko Black being a cornerstone of Araragi's chara development along all the first season of Monogatari, including his relationship with Hitagi. In a way, Araragi discussing about when one is in love could apply even to his relationship with Senjougahara.

Please stop with this story of the "weakest link in the franchise". I warn you that you may end up saying the same things even about the next books.
Look, the franchise has its recurrent gags. Araragi being perverted is a staple, for example. In this regard, Bake, Nise and Kuro have all something in common, which is the style the author chose to use for these stories. If you don't find this something entertaining, or you can't even notice what this something is, then this franchise is not for you.
