You mention that his pupils are "kind of blue" now. That's not normal and sounds like he may be going blind or developing cataracts. He needs to go to the vet. Any drastic behavioral change should...

I apologize, my meaning was not that you neglect them, but rather that your petsitter wasn't feeding or watering them properly since they were all ill when you returned home.
