Thanks for reaching out about Mr. T. Being fluffed is not a specific sign for any illness, and could be just cold. Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range. Intestinal parasites or infections, metabolic (liver, kidney) disorders, nutritional deficiencies, inhaled or ingested toxins are just a few of the possible causes. A veterinary visit can help rule in/rule out causes. Good luck.
