Odd cat behavior

thistlechaserAnyone have experience with this or know what it might mean? My cat is very much a "people-cat", she loves to be patted and to be in the same room as me, and she likes to keep as much physical contact with me as she can (sleeping on my arm or my foot, etc).
Of late, she's taken to sitting across the room from me, facing exactly away from me (which means she's facing a wall, just a few inches from it) and meowing loudly and demandingly. She keeps her back to me the whole time.
This does usually happen when I'm on the computer or paying some video game, but if it's a cry for attention it's a really odd one... (When she comes and rubs against my leg I do stop and give her a pat.) She always has food and fresh water, so it shouldn't be related to that.
She's on the old side (12-14 years old) and she doesn't play much anymore (not more than 30 seconds at a time, at the most). But still, that would be an odd way of telling me she's bored...
I thought about mental issues, since she's a little old, but she acts normally other than this wall-meowing thing.
Any thoughts?
