A cat should be eating but sometimes if the cat does not like the food put down for it, it will hold out for something better. A cat can starve for about 3 days after that you should take it to the vet, as it may have something else wrong with it.
Cats are obligate carnivores meaning the main bulk of their diet must be animal products. Cats will die if put on a strict Vegan diet. Cats may occasionally eat other foods either for the novelty or to solve a physiological problem such as constipation or hair ball retention.

If your cat has refused any and all foods for two days, take it to the vet immediately. A cat that loses too much of its weight too fast (from not eating) can develop a harmful and potentially fatal condition called Hepatic Lipidosis.
