Answer
Hi
cats sometimes get the off day just like us humans do, my own cat will have days where she appears to be depressed but then she bounces back. However if your cat has stopped eating it would suggest that maybe they are not feeling well and that is what is making them appear depressed.
Watch them for a couple of days to see if they start to eat again and if they get back to their old self. If not, take them to the vets for a check over, It may be something simple like a cold but it is much better to be safe than sorry.

best wishes
Kate
