Have you tried any tuna? Also, Science Diet makes a high-calorie food that supposedly no cat can resist, but you'll need a prescription for it. Worth it, in my opinion.

Hope she gets better soon.

Not true about cats. Cats can't go very long without food - they're not like dogs. Get worried if it's more than a couple of days. Their organs will begin to be damaged, starting with the liver. This happened to my Mille a couple years ago.

The trick is making sure you know they're not eating. Often, they'll eat when you can't see them. Try some wet food, canned tuna, etc. If that doesn't work, try to get that Science Diet - Prescription Diet a/d Canine/Feline Critical Care. The stuff is specifically aimed at cats that don't want to eat (among other things).
