Why is my 12-year-old unspayed cat meowing so much more often?

Question

Dear Dr, My cat is 12 years old but acts like a very active kitten :) lately she has been meowing like crazy and if earlier it would last a week and once or twice a year, now it’s almost every two weeks. I don’t know what to do and if I should be worried or is it just some kind of aging phase. She eats,drinks and goes to the toilet as usual and keeps the same routine as always. Please advice! I’m far away from her at the moment but feel very concerned. Pet's info: Cat | Siberian | Female | unspayed | 12 years old

This is a common behavior in intact females (not spayed). The fact that it has become more frequent makes me wonder if anything has changed with her hormonally like an ovarian tumor. I would have your vet take a look at her when you can to ensure everything looks ok. You can also have her spayed to stop these episodes. I hope this helps!
