Oh dear, poor Zisoou! Severe lethargy and a loss of appetite are very concerning signs, particularly that he is now having more abdominal effort. Unfortunately, these signs are all non-specific and could be due to a wide variety of underlying conditions - bleeding into the abdomen from a mass, heart failure, immune mediated hemolytic anemia, severe viruses, kidney disease, toxin exposure, among others. Regardless, this is an emergent condition and I strongly recommend taking Zisoou to an emergency vet immediately for evaluation. I hope that all goes well.
