Why is my cat lethargic, breathing shallow, and acting strange?

Question

My cat has been acting weird, his breathing seems shallow and he's not interacting as much as he usually does. He's been quieter than usual, laying around more and he seems to be zoned out more often. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 9 lbs

Poor Floyd sounds like he's not feeling well! He sounds lethargic, and the shallow breathing can be a sign of respiratory problems, such as an infection or cardiac disease. I would have Floyd seen by a vet today for an exam, blood tests, a urinalysis, and possibly x-rays. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms so he can be treated.
