I need help. My cat she doesn't want to eat or drink . It happened when we gave her wet cat food for couple of days and went back to dry food. She eats here and there but not as much as she used to. It's making me worry about my cat.

Try mixing together the wet food and the dry food to see if Elaine will eat. If she won't eat this, then take her into a vet right away. It's quite serious when a cat won't eat, and it requires immediate vet attention. Best of luck.
