Why is my cat not eating, drinking, lethargic, and losing weight?

Question

Hello, my cat has not been eating as much as before or drinking water as much. He is being very lethargic and hissed and bared his teeth when I tried to call him. he has NEVER done that before ever.. I'm really worried as he also lost a lot of weight. He went from 5. 5kg to 3kg. that's a lot of weight to loose for a cat. he does eat wet and dry food. but not as much as before. he's a 4 year old domestic shorthair breed. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 8 months old | 6.7 lbs

I am worried about Yoda as well. From what you are telling me, he is showing you that he is sick, and he has lost a lot of weight. He needs to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
