Why is my cat suddenly refusing to eat her food but acts hungry?

Question

My cat has always eaten nutrish dry food by rachel ray as long as I've had her which is about a year. Suddenly she has completely snubbed her nose at it. I tried getting a different brand entirely and she now snubs her nose at that too. She cries by the full food bowl. what could cause her to suddenly dislike the food she typically loves? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 1 year and 4 months old | 6 lbs

She may have a tooth ache or ulcers or other painful conditions in her mouth. Get some Fancy Feast canned food for her and feed her that until you can take her to a veterinarian (preferably today) for an exam. She is obviously hungry, so there is a chance that eating hurts her or the food is spoiled (sometimes that is not obvious) or the formulation changed significantly.
