Usually, a cat meowing is a way for that to tell you that something isn't right. It could be as simple as the cat needs to be cuddled, it could be hunger, or it could just as easily be pain. If it's something simple like food, feed it. Please bear in mind that some cats are just naturally vocal, and will often "talk" as a way of communicating with its owner.
If the cat seems to be meowing for no reason, you might either consider conducting a thorough topical exam of the cat, or head for the vet and see if there's a problem.
If this is new behavior, definitely consider a vet.
In the wild, age. Feral adult cats don't meow much; it's more of a kitten thing, and seems to be an attention-getting device to let the mother cat know the kitten needs or wants something.

Adult cats can occasionally be very loud. The call (which is usually described as a yowl, not a meow; based on the noises my cat makes I'd write it as "ha-WOOOO" or "HOWwww") seems to be intended to draw the attention of potential mates.

Adult cats in the wild don't vocalize much. The theory is that domestic adult cats retain this kitten-ish trait because they view their humans as surrogate mothers. So, if your cat is meowing, it probably wants something: food, water, a clean litterbox, or some other need that it thinks you can provide and it's trying to draw your attention to the matter.
