You need to take Robin into a vet immediately, it's a medical emergency he won't eat. If cats go long enough without eating, they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. He could have a systemic illness, infection, inflammation, or injury causing his symptoms. Please take him into a vet now.
