You may want to have your cat checked for kidney disease or thyroid problems. For some reason these can make a cat yowl at night.
The cat may also be 'calling' seeking you if he or she wonders where you are.
But if this is new behavior I'd suggest a vet check up to see if there is a medical issue.
Hope this helps you!
