There are many reasons in older cats for drinkin and urinating more and this definitely warrants a visit to your vet to find out why.
My top 3 things that I would think of would be.... Hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, diabetes mellitus. THere are of course many other reasons for this too but they are the ones I commonly see. A simple blood test, urinalysis and physical exam will help find out why.
