Is my cat sick?

My cat is about 10-11 months old, and is a skinny cat. Though lately he has lost some weight, so much that now when my wife or me pick him up we can feel his bones. Over the past week he has gone from hardly eating food to not eating anything at all. We changed his food with a different brand and he still refused it. Though my wife tells me he is still drinking water throughout the day. Today his ears and nose felt cold. His eyes also seemed more glassier than our other cat. Currently we've got him wrapped up in a blanket and he's sleeping. He seems more weak than usual. Anyone have any guess as to whats up with him?

No idea what might be wrong. There are so many things that can cause a cat to stop eating, none of them good. You need to get him to a vet as soon as possible.

Get to a Vet- NOW. Your cat is sick an if he's not eating the cat will go into liver failure. I lost Maude to that after we didn't notice she quit eating until it was too late(3 cats, bowls in the kitchen, bowls empty in morning easy to miss.) Your cat needs a vet NOW, it sounds like liver failure is already setting in. Find your nearest emergency vet and get him there now.

I lost a cat to liver failure, you can't play around or wait, if a cat goes more than a day without eating(yours has gone a week), it is an emergency at that point because their liver can start to fail and it is a lot easier faster and cheaper to get it fixed before they blow their liver totally.

You are asking the wrong people. If it was your son, and he was 2 years old what would you do?

You need to take your animal to the vet yesterday! I hope it's not too late.

Actually the cat needed to go to the vet a week ago, but that's beside the point.
