My cat is lethargic, not eating, and sleeping a lot. Is he sick?

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | 11 lbs

Hi, My name is Ibtisam Ali. I have a Persian cat probably 2 years of age. He seems to be lethargic and lost his appetite for past 2 days. I found him sleeping with his tongue out today & he sleeps a lot. I'm worried if these are some symptoms of a disease. Can you help me please?

These are general signs of disease, unfortunately almost any disease can manifest itself with those symptoms and for this reason I won't be able to give you an idea of what could be causing this. I would recommend taking Tonyt to the vet ASAP for a physical examination, if nothing obvious is found he will probably need a blood test or an ultrasound and the vet will then treat him according to the results.
