Why is my cat suddenly hiding, not eating, and sleeping all day?

Question

Hi, My cat (male) Tarot has completely changed over the past 2 weeks, he has always been a "mummys boy" and would only meow, give attention and be fed my me. I've checked him over and theres no abnormalities but now his whole behaviour has changed. Secluding himself, sleeping all day, hardly eating and drinking and he's not been social with me or anybody else at all. It's really starting to make me worry as he tends to just go lay in the bathroom or my wardrobe please help me. Pet's info: Cat | Bombay | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old

It sounds like he should be examined by a vet to rule out a medical problem. He could have an infection, parasite, metabolic, and/or endocrine disease and your vet can run blood work to help diagnose and the determine if treatment is needed. Hope he feels better soon!
