My wife and I have two cats, Oscar and Felix. Oscar is 4 and Felix is 3. We got them both when they were kittens. Oscar is well adjusted. However, Felix has some behavioral issues that we haven't been able to figure out. I'm just going to list out the things that have us concerned.
He cries a lot for apparently no reason. Often while staring up at the ceiling and trying to climb up the wall. He likes to be around my wife and me, but he doesn't like to be approached or touched. He always follows us around and stays in whatever room we are in. If we are just sitting or standing still somewhere he will come up and rub on us. But if we approach him he runs off. If we pick him up he gets freaked out and wants down immediately. He's very skiddish and easily frightened. He can't jump very well. He's kind of clumsy. His musculature doesn't seem to be very developed, as he feels soft when held rather than firm. He also tends to urinate right outside of the litter box instead of inside it, even when it has been freshly cleaned. There have been a few times when he urinated in a pile of clothes or in a corner of a room. He has lost about 3 pounds recently. In general, he just acts like he is confused by everything. He rarely cleans himself. Oscar usually cleans him. He gets along well with Oscar.
Any advice on what could be wrong with him?
