Unfortunately there are many things that could be making Misti not eat. Just like humans, pets can pick up viruses, infections in the intestines, or something they shouldn’t have. Parasites, toxin ingestion or even an obstruction are all possible. Any pet who does not eat for 24 hours needs to be examined by the veterinarian. A physical exam and thorough medical history are the only way to begin to figure out what is wrong. Have her examined by the veterinarian today. Best of luck.

    Poor girl. Not eating can be caused by a lot of different things such as infection or underlying organ malfunction. If Lala isn't eating for more than /4 hrs then it is best to take her in to your vet for diagnostic testing to determine the underlying cause so that we know how best to help her. You can try to offer her a different type of food or canned food to see if you can entice her to eat. However, when a cat refuses to eat and also is acting lethargic or abnormal, it is best to get them seen and treated right away. I hope that Lala feels better soon. Best wishes and take care.
