I am telling you that strays should not be intentionally starved because if you are the only one regularly feeding them, and you take that away from them, they will lose the ability to hunt. Only a well-fed cat can hunt effectively. I have no way of knowing if you are the only one feeding her- but why take the chance? Withholding food 24 hours to try and get her into a trap is one thing, but taking food away from her longer, isn't something I would advise anyone to do unless a vet told them to. And yes, she could be eating garbage out of someone's trash, but with garbage comes bacteria and sickness unless she is lucky enough to find food not spoiled.
