Sleeping a lot is a very vague sign. It can mean a number for things like low blood sugar, low blood pressure, fever, etc. Cats tend to sleep a lot normally. Since this is a new behavior, he should be examined by his veterinarian to help figure out what is wrong. Also watch closely to see if he has other signs such as not eating, not drinking, vomiting, or diarrhea. This may help guide your veterinarian to the cause of the problem.
