If a kitten is not eating, it is likely very, very sick, and sorry to say; but a very young kitten will often not survive this. Take the cat to the vet, and ask for both a parvovirus test (canine parvo virus test will also show panleukopenia, the feline parvo), as well as a basic check up/test for the kitten's lack of appetite.

If it is to young, it will want a mother cat's milk, not cat food. Try using kitten formula if it is still below 6 weeks, or consult a veterinary about how to get the kitten to eat.

Why does your kitten shake when she eats?

Kittens are very playful animals. If a kitten shakes when it is eating it could just be excited and enjoying the meal.
