My senior cat is yowling, pale, and lethargic. Should I see a vet?

Question

My cat has not been herself for the last couple of days - yowling very loudly through the night. still eating and drinking water maybe drinking slightly more than usual. her gums and rims of her eyes look a little pale. She is a little lethargic although is generally quite a lazy cat. she is 10 years old and a ragdoll weighing around 6kg. should i take her to the vet or see if she improves over the next 24 hours. Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | spayed | 10 years and 1 month old | 14 lbs

Older cats can experience an over active thyroid that can make then walk around vocalizing and change their water intake. They can also experience high blood pressure and a form of dementia that can cause wandering with vocalization. With these symptoms and her age, I would take her for blood work and exam. They can evaluate her health and check her kidneys, thyroid and blood pressure and prescribe what medicine is needed.
