So my cat of 5 years has been in a very maintained schedule with my life of working crazy hours and traveling, so I don’t get to spend so much time home. But now I’m home 24/7 and I’ve noticed he’s overly affectionate, not eating much and I hear a him breathing heavily while snoring? Also his breathe is smelling a little worse & he’s getting eye gook more than normal. Is his behavior from stress from change?

Yes, it could be from stress but it could also be Leo is sick. The bad breath could be due to dental disease, and the excessive eye discharge could be due to an eye infection. I'd have him seen by a vet this weekend. I hope this helps!
