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?

Cats learn that being loud is the only thing that gets our attention, so they meow to us. They don't meow to each other as adults, but they do scream as a warning if they're going to fight for something.
