    Weight loss in an older cat is a concern.  There are a number of things that it could be.  Thyroid disease will cause wieght loss dispite having a nomal or even increased appetite and can cause behavior changes.  However, if his abdomen is tender, it could be something more serious.  He should be seen by your vet.
