My cat won't eat dry, wet, or table food. Is this an emergency?

My cat won't eat the food I put out. Dry food, wet food, table food. Nothing. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

Not eating is a serious concern in cats. If a cat does not eat for two days or longer it can develop a severe liver condition in addition to the initial cause for not eating. Your kitty may have bad teeth, which hurt and therefore might not eat, or an infection or organ condition that causes her to not eat. Please take Kitcat to an emergency veterinarian tonight for an exam and blood work and other diagnostics as indicated by the hands-on exam of the vet.
