How long can a cat go without eating (or barely eating)?

My cat was declared healthy a week ago at the vet's. But now he isn't eating and sleeps all the time.

don't know how, for over two weeks.
Did your cat get any vaccines at the vet's last week? You should probably call the vet if there's no improvement in a day or so.

Call the vet if there's no improvement. I had a turtle who stopped eating one day and it lead to her dying.
