A key may be that your cat is old, as you reported. Take a day or two to watch and see what happens. (Cats don't starve to death in a couple of days.) Insure the cat is comfortable and has fresh water. (Monitor drinking habits.) You've probably put out the "good" food. As a last ditch effort, open a can of tuna and treat the cat to a serving of "the good stuff" and see if that works. Consider an appointment with the vet. A professional opinion in situations like this is worth its weight in gold. There is a limited amount of things you can do as a pet owner other than water, feed, shelter and love your cat. Except take the little critter to a vet when you feel that it is time to do so. Good luck.

I am sorry to say but your old cat is simply that ... old. Please take your cat into the vets. She could simply have a urinary tract infection or something else. People with pets should have their vet check them over each year and make sure their shots are up to date. I wish you luck and hope that your cat is feeling better soon.
