>>This cat needs a vet check ASAP just to be sure there is no underlying medical cause for this new behavior. Even if you don't see a mark on him, though it could be that something spooked him suddenly. Maybe he saw another cat unexpectedly outside. But since he is off his food a bit too, he should be examined.

This is probably totally off the wall, but there are different degrees of deafness. The first thing that popped into my mind when I read this was, maybe for the first time he heard a sound . That sure would spook him and also have him looking around trying to figure out what it was. Yeah I know, probably far fetched.. I would have him vet checked....Shorty
