My cat has been meowing A LOT yesterday and especially today. She is somewhat vocal, but she has never been this vocal. It's constant, all the time. I'm wondering if she might be in pain or something? Maybe there's something wrong with her? She's just 7 months. Do you think I should take her to the vet?

, is she spayed? If not, she could be in heat.
If she's been spayed, she could be seeking attention or she saw something that attracted her attention and she wants to get to it or worse case scenario, she's in pain which needs the vet's attention.
Also if she's not spayed, please have her spayed for the sake of her health.

Yes, I spayed her when she was 5 1/2 months old. I wonder if there's something going on with her teeth. She seems to have red gums, some swelling too. I should probably get it checked out. I'm afraid she's meowing because she's in pain.

She should go to the vet, yes. Let us know what they say.

It was as I expected, she has an issue with her teeth (two back molars in her upper jaw). The issue is her two molars are going down through the gums in her lower jaw, so they're red and swollen. She has to have them pulled. It will cost me a fortune, sigh, but it has to be done. The vet said it's unusual, especially in someone so young, but it can happen with short nosed breeds (I have a British Shorthair, despite my username). He said it's because of their anatomy and possibly bad breeding.
