I'll chime in with the others, as well. I have two 15 1/2 year old male cats...
Any weight loss in Seniors (or any cat) needs to be checked. 3 pounds in a month or two is quite a lot. My vet perks up if my boys lose half a pound to a pound.
I recommend taking him in for blood and urine tests. I've found most medical issues in cats, if found early, are pretty controllable with diet and meds. I've been thru Cancer, Thyroid, Kidney, and Brain tumor issues of late. All have had good results so far from early detection and working closely with the vet. Weight loss, diet changes, behavior changes, and litter box changes are our first indicators something is wrong... That's when the vets can help us pin point it...
