Your kitty needs vet care ASAP! Not eating is a very bads sign. Cats cannot go without food or water in their systems long, their liver begins to shut down. You need to try to get some food in her. You can use a needle- LESS syringe, and gently squirt some chicken broth or really mushy canned food. I STRONGLY urge you to get her to the vet though. I hope she turns around, and starts eating and feeling better soon! Sending many prayers and vibes to you and your kitty. Please keep us updated.
It could be kidney problems - if at all possible, get her to a vet right away!! And until then, I second the chicken broth advice. Please don't let her suffer! My prayers are with you! Susan
As was suggested use a syringe and make sure you keep your cat hydrated and maybe try and get some food down them. Get your cat to a vet asap
I'll move this to Health & Nutrition.
She needs to see an animal doctor immediately - please take her in right away!!!!!!
Yep, very important that she sees a vet.

I agree with all said, let me add this if I may; cats will usually lick food or liquid off of their paws or off their lips or nose area. You could try to put some wet cat food on the pads of her front paws and see if she will lick her paws trying to clean them. If not try to put a little on the front of her mouth. I do hope that you can find a way to get her to the Vet, I know how hard that can be. Good Luck.
I'm far from an expert, but I think most cats are lactose sensitive. So taking in consideration that she is not well milk is not a good answer either. Try what had been said before, needless syringe or food on the paws. We cannot see how bad that is. But it doesn't sound good, so be cautious and seek professional help, VET.
Milk is not a good thing to feed a cat or older kitten. Get the cat to the vet ASAP. I don't worry if they miss an occasional meal, but more then a day, they are in the vet's.
Especially if the cat appears to be weak too!

Did you go to the vet? How's your kitty doing?
