Hi Boys Mum
I would go to the vet. Tell him/her hows he been acting. I'm sure he'll be able to help.

My friend's cat has dementia and I know she has some tablets to keep in under control . . . I would definitely see what you vet says . . . I know this particular cat is fine most of time but will sometimes get confused and cry
