Cat not eaten for days

Our girl cat is 5. She had a small external tumour removed about a month ago. It’s healed fine and biopsy came back good.

Now she hasn’t eaten since maybe Saturday? Maybe earlier but we were away and she was with live in cat sitters who weren’t 100% which cat ate what. We took to vet Monday who said she might just be anxious from cat sitter strangers and operation still.
Shes usually mainly an outdoor cat and just returns at night for food.

So she’s been locked indoors since Sunday. Usually hates but doesn’t seem bothered and just sleeps. Vet said to return in 2 days if not eaten still.
Have offered various food, fresh chicken, fillet type in broth, lick snack things, cat milk, water.. and she refuses everything.

Shes a petite small cat to start with so looking even thinner.

Any ideas?

Did they say what caused the inflammation, out of curiosity, and how was it treated?

They said it must be some kind of allergy to something in his food so he now has hypoallergenic good. He's thriving.

Thank you! I'm so glad you found a solution.

Our cat was put to sleep. She had a skin tumour removed last month, but with the lack of eating was found to have several more tumours internally in throat and on organs. We made the decision to put to sleep.
