I'm sorry to hear that your cat isn't feeling well. It's understandable to be concerned when she isn't eating or drinking, especially if this has been happening for a few days. Let's go over a few important points to consider.

Firstly, there are several possible reasons why your cat might stop eating. Stress, dental issues, infections, or other underlying health problems could be contributing factors. It's crucial to keep an eye out for any additional symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy.

In terms of home care, try offering her small amounts of easily digestible food, like plain boiled chicken or wet cat food. It's also important to ensure she's staying hydrated. You might find that adding a bit of tuna juice to her water makes it more appealing for her to drink.

Monitoring her behavior is key. If she continues to refuse food and water or shows any signs of distress, it's important to consult a veterinarian. Since she's not eating or drinking on her own, a visit to the vet is advisable to rule out any serious conditions and to ensure she receives the appropriate care.

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