The red inflamed gums are the reason your cat is crying: She is finding it very painful to eat her food. Inflamed gums suggest the cat has some sort of dental or gum infection and should be taken to the vets immediately to be treated.

There is very little you can do at home as dental infections usually start below the gumline and not on the tooth itself.
