one thing that worked, for no reason other than it made sense to the cat in question, was to pet her WHILE she ate--she did have lipidosis, so it was vital that she eat--as long as i'd start petting a certain part of her shoulder area when i first put food in front of her, she'd start and continue to eat. stop petting--stopped eating. start petting again, started eating again...
an animal communicator might be able to help delineate the after-effects of the trauma for her, too.
