It'a possible that your kitty could be going deaf. Sometimes when cats are
going deaf, they vocalize a lot, just like people who are hard of hearing
sometimes talk too loud. She also could be going a little senile. Yes, 13
is early old age for a cat, but I think it could be possible. My cat, who
was 13 when she passed away, used to do what I would call "pinging" me. She
would wander around the house yowling, waiting for me to answer. I would
say "over here!" and she would follow my voice till she found me. She would
be quiet while she was with me.
Would it be possible to keep food, water, and litterbox in your bedroom at
night? You could just keep her in the bedroom with the door closed all
night, so she doesn't wander too far and forget where you are.
If you can afford it at all, I think a checkup with the vet would be a good
idea. She should have a senior blood panel run just to rule out things like
hyperthyroid, kidney failure, liver problems, etc.
Good luck!

wondered
whose it was and whether they were enjoying it
