My senior cat is withdrawn, wobbly, and drinking more. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, my 7 yr old neutered male cat teddy for couple of wks now bn more withdrawn than usual, taken to spending most of the day laying on v thin edge of upvc window frame every couple of mins standing up & turning around and lays back down again. In & out of deeper sleep than normal often losing his balance & going to fall off which in turn wakes him up.he is drinking lots. I've made him come indoors tonight & shut window which he's not happy about. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 years and 10 months old | 12 lbs

I am sorry Teddy is not feeling well. I would recommend taking Teddy to a vet for a good physical exam and some basic blood work. With Teddy being a 7 year old cat it possible he is starting to have thyroid issues, kidney issues or even just arthritis. However with him being an outside cat we do always get concerned about parasites and toxin. A vet visit would be best to determine why Teddy is acting this way and provide proper treatment. hope that helps
