Hello and welcome to the forum.
There could be many reasons why your Cookie eats less than she used to.
It would be helpful if you told us a bit more about her.

Welcome to the Forum, I agree with comments earlier, have you more information.
Here are some questions for you.
Has she recently been wormed?
Has she got a runny bottom?
Is she acting normal other than the not eating?
How is her mouth? are her gums red do her teeth look good?

Cookie weigh 4kg (8.8lbs). Nothing change. She's always right in front of my door every time I went back home. She's playful when I started playing with her. And when I'm busy doing some work at home, she stays beside me or on the couch sleeping.
I'm feeding her Royal Canin Kitten 36 (dry food) for 13 years and then I just bought this Royal Canin Maine Coon 31 for adult because I think she may not like her food already. I always make sure she has food on her plate everyday.
I always take her for grooming every week and I'm so busy it will take 2 weeks.
Last monday, we went for her grooming and the people who usually take care of her told me that she's getting thiner. And they ask me if I comb her at home I said sometimes. They told me to buy this "mybeau vitamins and minerals:, Tasty Oil Supplement.
I like her taste it from my finger and she ate likes it. But if I already place that to her plate with her food, she did not finish it.
I'm worried and I really appreciate all your suggestions and advise.
Has she recently been wormed? No
Has she got a runny bottom? No
Is she acting normal other than the not eating? Yes
How is her mouth? Normal
are her gums red do her teeth look good? No, its seems good to me.

Shes stop eating as much
I have never had a female MC at that age {one was older when she arrived & the other one because of problems stiil weighs less than that} but I would have said its still a pretty good weight for a girl as she still has another three years of growing to do.I would think the groomers noticed a difference because she had a growth spurt.Because of the content of adult food they seem to eat less of it anyway,its like baby formulas as they grow & move up to richer ones there is far less in the bottle.....!
Extra vitamins wont hurt her anyway,try her on a different brand of food,try her on wet food but only in very small amounts if she has never had any before,do as Candes suggests & routine worm her just in case.At 13 months she is not too far away from her annual check up & booster so you could always discuss any worries with your vet then.
We now know more about her,a picture would be welcomed.

I agree with the others.
Worm her, and take her to the vet for a check-up.
Try different foods, and introduce some wet food as jckkerrison suggests. Perhaps Cookie will like a nice chunck of fresh salmon … most cats adore it and it has plenty of ‘good fat’ in it.
Don’t worry about the Tasty Oil Supplement… our Coonies too will eat certain foods out of my hand but not from their plates. Cats are funny creatures…
One more question: has she been spayed? Non-spayed kitties usually put on weight less quickly than spayed ones.
Good luck! And if you can find the time, do try to post pics of her… we love pictures!
