Why does my 14-year-old cat sleep so much? Is it a health concern?

Question

My 14 year old male kitty,named "Moxie"is so special, I adopted his Mommie and got a bonus, she was pregnant ( no one seemed to know this fact. Zoe had 3 healthy babies at my home, 2 girls and 1 boy (Moxie), my niece adopted the 2 girls. My question is, Is it normal for a 14 year old kitty (Moxie) to sleep most of the day? He seems healthy, eats well, drinks plenty of water, etc. I can only send 1 picture.

Moxie is such a handsome boy! While older cats do slow down as they age and sleep more, it can also be an indication of an illness. The best thing to do is have him checked out by a vet, and I would take him into the vet this week for a check up. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
