Why is my unneutered cat roaming, vocalizing, and losing weight?

Question

My cat has been in and out door all his life. For 8 month or so he has been mostly in door, but in the past week he had suddenly been outdoor most of his time, not coming back for 24hrs. only stopping home to eat, agitated and vocalizing a whole lot when kept inside. We’ve been noticing a little weight loss as well. What is wrong with him? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 12 lbs

If he is not neutered then I would be suspicious that there is an in heat female somewhere that he is spending time and energy trying to get to. However, there are certainly other possibilities. I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian to make sure there isn’t something medically concerning going on, and then potentially consider having him neutered. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
