Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 years and 5 months old
My cat has been straining to poop and when he does its usually watery or even bloody. He has a cough, has been losing a lot of weigh, neglecting grooming habits. He eats like a pig and is sleeping a lot more often. What would cause these problems?

Ollie needs to be examined by his veterinarian for a few conditions including hyperthyroidism, hypertension, intestinal parasites and Felv/FIV. It sounds like he is very sick and I recommend to have him examined within the next 24 hours. Getting the correct diagnosis and starting treatment quickly tend to give pets the best prognosis. I hope this helps.
