No, I wouldn't be concerned if April is just moaning in her sleep but it otherwise acting normal. She could be dreaming, and the moaning could be related to any dreams she is currently having. It's always good to have a senior cat checked out by a vet just to make sure she is healthy, but I wouldn't worry otherwise :-)
