Why is my senior cat skinny, drooling, slow, and losing his voice?

Question

I have a cat named rascal who is 14 years old. Lately he has been getting really skinny and at times he would drool heavily but i would check his teeth and gums and they always seem to be okay. He walks a bit more slow and now he has kind of lost his voice his voice is more hoarse. What do i do??? Pet's info: Cat | Oriental Shorthair | Male | neutered | 13 years and 4 months old | 10 lbs

You need to take Rascal into a vet first thing in the morning. He could have a medical problem such as diabetes, kidney failure, hyperthyroidism, and cancer causing him to lose weight and his other health problems. I recommend having a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis done. Please take him into the vet in the morning.
