Your cat is probably dyhdrated and has stopped eating and drinking much if anything.

They have quite bad digesting problems (SOLUTION: Crumble small amounts of digestive biscuits into their usual diet but only a tiny bit) 2. Soon after step 1 they won't eat for a while 3. At the same time as step 2 they'll probably be sick. 4. If you haven't done step 1 solution shortly after step 1 then you must bring your cat to the vets and they'll sort everything out. 5. If this doesn't work try think of what your cat eaten for the past few days. If it is nothing like cat food from shops and more like a rat or mouse which may be diseased, you must ask the vets for some stomach medicine otherwise they'll grow extremely fat and will find it hard to move.

See a vet since this can be a sign of real illness in cats, and could be fatal, especially in weak, old or very young cats. Healthy cats will most likely get over it with no problems, but if they aren't eating, drinking or are very listless, get to a vet ASAP.
