My quiet cat is suddenly meowing constantly. Should I be worried?

Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 7 years and 2 months old | 13 lbs

My 7 year old 13 pound male Maine coon has been way more vocal than normal. He's pretty quiet, but he won't stop meowing at me. It's only been a day, but I'm always worried about my cats and their health

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Elder. He is certainly a handsome boy! His face is gorgeous. He may be meowing at you because he wants more attention. He may also be hungry or bored. Try playing with him, make sure he has food, and give him lots of love. Some days cats can be more vocal than usual, and that's normal. I hope this helps!
