If this change in your cat’s behavior is recent and sudden then I would be concerned about an underlying problem/illness. I would recommend taking your cat in to be evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure nothing to serious is going on. Your vet will likely recommend blood work and X-rays if indicated. Your vet can also recommend a diet plan to help him lose weight as well. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
