Aa
Maple!!! D:
Maple hasnt eaten in two days, that i've seen.
I tried givng her wet food which she normally freaks out about! She wouldnt touch it
I tried a piece of meat from my sub...nada
Cream...nope
Cat food...negative
She plays abit but mostly sleeps. Shes quiet and lets me hold her for abit then meows when she wants down. A few minutes ago she just dry heaved and now shes just curled in a ball under the table.
Is it teething? Or something i should start saving or preparing for?

Cool, I'm glad she's eating.
However, if she is only eating dry food, she's probably not getting enough hydration - cats just don't drink enough water to maintain the percentage of hydration that they need. Meat flavored baby food has a high water content (although, for cats, no real nutritional value) and cats usually love it. If she won't eat the canned food, she might eat the baby food and get the fluids she needs.
KMR milk replacer is a good supplement for both nutrition and hydration. You can get a powder that mixes with water and perhaps slightly increase how much water you add. This is available at most pet stores.

Aww, give her a pet for me :) I wish you all luck on your interview. I know how you feel, I've been at it for months... yuck!
If she still isn't eating/drinking, check out an article I wrote in the health pages about syringe feeding. It is really important that cats and kittens don't go too long without nutrition and hydration, so if you decide (or your vet tells your) that you need to her eat, the article might have some helpful tips for you. I've been though it lots of times, syringe feeding a sick cat that won't otherwise eat.

Havnt saved up the money for his vet visit yet. Rent hasnt been paid in almost two months.
Maple is playing and clawing furniture as usual...its juist weird cause she gets all emo and quiet.
she just...dosnt play as much....
She hasnt been checked for those killers and neither have i seen any worms in her poo or butt....Luffys worms stopped appearing in his feces and i havnt seen any blood in the box when i cleaned it last.
I checked with the vet, its 48.00 for a checkup. I may end up taking them both together...luffy may be more if he gets a fecal exam. How much do i think i'd be max. spenidng...god knows...But i really need to give my landlord some kind of money before she says the hell with this.
I hopefully have a job interview at a day care next week and one at bad *** coffee either this week or next. My mother in law comes down friday or saturday til next friday or saturday with my brother in law and her 3female yorkies and my 2 males...gosh busy...
But she may be able to take me if i can get the funds.
I'll keep you updated Dali.
<3 you

You mentioned Luff being sick with parasites. Parasites can be transmitted. You've had too many ill pets in your house, around you and other pets. I do not recall, but did you get her tested for feline leukemia and FIP? I remember those were your cats' killers.
Is she teething? My kitty did have his silent moments when he was teething but he never spent 48 hrs with no food. Have you checked if she is being regular at all? Have you checked if there is any physical discomfort, maybe a lump or wound?
Hun, I think a trip to the vet to get her checked is ideal. Luff is sick, so I wouldn't doubt she has parasites, and kittens with parasites react differently than adult cats. Parasites can be lethal for kittens. I hope the baby gets well. But if she keeps refusing to eat in the next 12 hours, I think the vet is the best choice.
Please keep me updated, and if you need anything, holla at your girl. :)
Oh, any progress on Luff's situation?
