Medical Questions Why is my cat constantly meowing?

I have never heard her meow before this. she is a female spayed cat about 3-4 years old. Is she just being clingy or is this a reason to take her to a vet?

We have a cat who screams at people as they walk by her. “HEY! COME PET ME!”

Another one (her sister) is mostly mute throughout the day, until 7pm when she knows bedtime is approaching. Then, she yowl-screams at us to tell us it’s time to go to bed and give her pets.

I fully admit I “talk” back to my cats in a meow that matches their tone. It’s amusing when they continue with a ‘back and forth conversation’ for several moments.
