My 1-year-old cat won't eat. When should I worry about her not eating?

Whiskey is such a handsome cat! Look at those gorgeous eyes! I can understand being concerned about it, but anorexia is a very general sign of illness. It can be caused by dental problems, systemic illness, inflammation, infection, or injury. It's also concerning when a cat goes too long without eating (about 72 hours) as they will develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. It's best to avoid this, so I would try to tempt him to eat with some boiled white meat chicken (no bones), and if he refuses to eat that, take him into the vet in the morning for a health check. I hope this helps!
