diabetes could be managed as could water infections etc.
I think you should take him to the vet to be checked out.
If he is reluctant to eat he could also have a blockage in his mouth or throat.
Check also that he moves ok and is not in pain when you stroke his body all over.
If he goes out, especially at night he may have been hit by car.
Good though.. he hasnt lost weight and now your aware , you can get him checked out.

today he just hasnt ate since thismornin, think its down to him bein sick tho. other times he'll eat some when fed, then just go off and come back a few hours later
he doesnt seem to be in any pain/discomfort when stroked, and often sits on me/mydesk
goes out around 4-5AM every mornin and comes in about 7 when i get up. then usually goes out for a few hours when i get in around 3. dont think he has been hit, but then he cant exactly tell me.
its just the food and water that seems to be the problem. other than that, there has been no change

you will find a vet open 24hrs 7 days , took my lil girl on sunday morn emergancy surgery ,...it wasnt all that dear/expensive if you go to them ...
they could do nothing for her , I was in mourning for 2 weeks ...
is they any pain when you squeeze her underneath near back legs ...or lumps ?

ring your local vet surgery... they should give telephone advice , ( though will probably say visit if your not in the practice)
Note also,his poo, consistency and smell (if he uses tray) and whether he is in discomfort when weeing or pooing.
Could be maybe he has picked up some old food/ contamination.
good luck
