Hi
well this behavior does sound very odd and would suggest to me that he is in some discomfort. it is impossible to say what is wrong with him without an examination and so a trip to your vets is really recommended. It does sound like your cat is in some pain or discomfort.

You would know if it was just a cat cold as they would normally have mucky eyes and sneeze etc, similar to our colds. this sounds different.

I would definitely say a trip to your vets is needed asap.

I hope he is better soon

best wishes Kate
