It sounds like your cat is experiencing some discomfort with symptoms such as loss of appetite, stinky breath, and itching. These issues could be related to dental problems, allergies, or even stress. Let's discuss a few steps you can take at home to help your cat feel better.

For the loss of appetite, you might try offering your cat some warm, aromatic food like canned tuna or chicken to entice them to eat. Make sure the food is fresh and appealing to stimulate their interest.

Regarding the stinky breath, this could indicate dental issues. Take a look inside your cat's mouth for any signs of redness, swelling, or visible tartar. Regular dental care, such as brushing your cat's teeth, can be beneficial. However, if the bad breath continues, it might be worth investigating further.

As for the itching, since your cat is already wearing a flea collar, fleas are less likely to be the cause. It could be an allergy or skin irritation. You might consider gently bathing your cat with a hypoallergenic shampoo to help soothe their skin.

Since these symptoms have only been present for a day and are not severe, you can continue to monitor your cat for a few more days. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.

If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to reach out. Thank you.
