Longer Naps, Less Food, Smaller Stool...

Both my tabbies are 14 but I hope they live well-past 2010. Recently,
both have started taking much longer naps -- generally 20-22 hours a
day -- only "exercising" if truly antagonized or when either needs to
vacate a bowel or kidney. I've noticed food consumption is significantly
less, which is also possibly contributing to the lessened activities
from both. The alarming part is the smaller amounts of stool each is
producing: it's drastic, actually. This new non-action is really
starting to alarm me. They will walk about the house but there's just no
real zip to their play or desire to eat.

Thoughts, ah-ha's, etc.?

Too many issues to be named  in what you described
The average furball sleeps 18 hours a day
but the real warning signs  are
no desire to eat
sleeping more
changes in litter box habits

VET ASAP PLEASE
