Why is my 6-year-old cat falling over, like his front half is heavy?

Question

Hello. I have a cat who is about 6.5 years old. The past couple of months he has started falling over a little bit and almost acting like his front half is too heavy for his back half. He might be a bit dehydrated but other than he seems pretty normal. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 6 years and 10 months old | 9 lbs

Lewis needs to be examined by the veterinarian. Weakness is never normal and can indicate many conditions ranging from an electrolyte imbalance to cancer. Lewis needs a physical exam to begin figuring out what is wrong and he will likely needs blood work +/- radiographs. Just like humans, the sooner problems are diagnosed the better the prognosis. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
