Mr. Peabody seems to be experiencing very general symptoms of illness, meaning this could be pretty much any disease. when cats behave this way it's usually because they feel very ill or are painful, and it's usually a sign of a serious condition. i strongly recommend that you take him to the vet in order to get it checked and treated ASAP.
