Why is my cat lethargic for a week, not eating, and having accidents?

Question

My cat Has been very lethargic for about a week - he’s not eating and won’t go outside (usually happy to spend a lot of time outside) - he’s peed and pooped around the house! He’s 3 years old. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered

This is a quite generic but concerning sign. Differentials are many, from gastrointestinal diseases (infection/inflammations often dietary related) to any disease that can spread systemically (causing lethargy for example) like infection, and anything that can cause pain/discomfort. The approach must be logic, starting from offering different kind of food. A check up is needed usually if inappetence last for more than 24hours (so a check up is required now basically..). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
