I recommend taking Felix to the veterinarian. With such vague symptoms there are many different things that could be going on with him. My concern is that he is 3 months old and if he doesn't eat his glucose can drop drastically. Kittens should not be as lethargic as you are describing also. Your veterinarian will be able to evaluate him to see if diagnostics and/or just treatment is necessary. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
