4 month old kitty wont eat-why!?

I noticed that my 4 month old kitty has been acting strange. He has the tendency of waking me up around 7am by being all lovely rubbing his face on mine & doing some sort of cry. This usually means that he's hungry. Once he eats, he goes toilet. Once he's done w/ all this, he goes back to sleeping. I noticed that Friday morning, 7am passed by and he was still asleep. 1pm & still asleep. He's normally awake at that time. So I had to wake him up to eat. I havent seen him as active as usual. He was crying a lot-like if doing a calling or something. I feed him 2 Whiskas pouches a day (as recommended in pouch) along w/ dry food (esp. for kittens) & fresh water. Unfortunately  he has not been eating as he does so. The pouch food served around 1pm was still there 11pm. I provided fresh pouch food and the same thing again. He has also been just laying around a lot. Sleeping almost anywhere and he has been feeling very very warm when I hold him.....What could be wrong with him?

It could be soooo many things only a trip to the vet will really help him.  My only advice is for you to make an appointment with the vet as soon as you can. When a cat stops eating we are talking serious business here. Cats, especially babies and indoors are little pigs, so it is odd and dangerous if they refuse to eat.
Let us know how he is doing and what the vet said. Keep us posted.

A visit to the vet is DEFINITELY in order here.   There is no way that anyone here can really hazard a guess at what is wrong with him.  Please don't waste time, though, because cats are EXCELLENT at hiding the symptoms when something is wrong with them, and very often, by the time they DO appear to be ill, they are VERY ill.  Please let is know what you find out from the vet's examination.
