Gumball is quite the cutie but I agree he looks very tiny. Since he is so tiny and now becoming lazy, I would strongly recommend to have a vet take a look at him. He may have some type of genetic defect preventing him from growing and thriving like a normal kitten should. Your vet may be able to determine what is going on with him and get him started on a proper treatment and nutrition plan to help him feel better. I hope this helps!
