She is usually a greedy eater but ignored dinner last night and breakfast today. She's drinking a little and sleeping more than normal. Is this worth a vet visit?

Yes — please call your vet today. Cats shouldn't go more than about 24 hours without eating; in overweight cats a few days of not eating can harm the liver. A cat who is not eating AND is hiding, lethargic, vomiting, drooling, drinking much more or less, or straining in the tray needs to be seen the same day.
While you arrange it: keep her warm and quiet, offer her favourite strongly-smelling food (warmed slightly), and don't force-feed or give human medicines. Note anything you saw — vomit, stool, new foods, plants she chewed — and tell the vet.
