Why is my cat sleeping more, eating less, and acting lethargic?

Question

My cat is on new food which I slowly transition to her. Sometimes she’ll eat and sometimes she doesn’t. Feed her wet in the morning and dry at night. She been sleeping a lot more. Still plays but not much energy. She eats treats. She had dental work done last year three teeth pulled. She’s drinking water fine and going to the bathroom. She also grunts a lot but I’m not sure because of her breed? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 5 months old

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Angie. She is a beautiful cat!! I love her markings and her face, just gorgeous. I'm concerned that she has another dental problem causing her loss of appetite or she may have an illness. Typically in cats, a loss of appetite and lethargy are the first signs of illness. I think it's best that she sees a vet for a health check. I'd take her into one first thing in the morning. I hope this helps!
