There's lots of good ideas in this thread, but if your pal is getting up there in age, you may need to visit the vet. We just recently changed our dog's food and have to give him some sort of med/vitamin and he is now a totally different pooch.....went to the vet and had some blood work done to find this out.
Any vet you visit is going to do blood work. I know it is somewhat costly, but you get true results and not guess work ;)

Hope your cat gets better!
