Three days without eating in a cat can be an indication of a significant disease process. Combining with this with the recent vomiting, some of the things that come to mind include gastritis, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, immune-mediated conditions, dietary indiscretion, certain cancers of the GI tract, and neurologic disorders which can cause dizziness / nausea. If the anorexia persists for another 12-24 hours, I would definitely contact a veterinarian to be seen. When a cat stops eating for more than 4-5 days, it can can effect the liver and result in the need for hospitalization. Hope Mano is feeling better soon.

    These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
