Hi there. There are many different things that could cause a cat to not eat, so I'm afraid it's hard to say what might be wrong without being able to examine him and run some tests. He may have a GI problem such as pancreatitis, a systemic illness like liver or kidney disease, an infection of some kind, or may have gotten into something toxic. I would recommend taking River Jude to the vet for an exam, as some of these problems can be serious. He/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help determine what's wrong and get him started on appropriate treatment.
