Cat makes gurgling noises when she meows?

This doesn't happen all the time...mostly when she wants attention and she's meowing loudly at you.

In fact I can only remember a few times it's happened recently, not sure about before that. And it doesn't happen every time she meows loudly either.

What exactly is this? The best way I can describe it is that when she meows there's a sort of gurgling noise happening at the same time. Again, it's not every time.

My cat comes indoors and night into the kitchen and I swear she is shouting hello. Well, it's more like h e w o. It is very eerie to say the least.

I think you are describing what we in our household call a "purr-meow."  When a cat is happy you're about to feed her and is purring in anticipation, but is wishing you would hurry up, they can do this neat-sounding throaty b-g-r-r-o-oow that is half purr and half meow.  Evidently (from research they have don on pets and their owners), it is a very effective sound, getting the person's attention about 100% of the time.
