Hi, I have a question.. my cats always hungry and lately hes been sleeping over 15 hrs when he used to sleep only around 9. He also been getting aggressive when you try to pet him and thats not like him.. he also yowls quite alot especially when je goes to use the washroom. Could it be because he isnt neutered? Also.. is it healthy for him to be 5 kgs at 7 months?

I am sorry to hear about Cassiel. Some of these symptoms could definitely be related to him being unneutered and reaching sexual maturity (increased aggression, yowling, increased hunger). I would recommend getting him examined by a vet to ensure there is no cause for lethargy and to discuss neutering him as soon as possible.
