Thank you for submitting your question regarding your cat. I agree that she or he sounds sick. I recommend seeing a veterinarian. There are numerous reasons why a cat will stop eating. Unfortunately, medications will be different based on the underlying condition. The veterinarian will examine the your cat and may recommend blood work and/or urine testing. Based on these results, treatment can be started. I hope this information helps!
