My e-guitar doesn't get amplified by the amp
Long story short, after leaving my guitar for a few months, I decided to start practicing again. I plugged my amp and every led blinked at it should. I took my jack and plugged it into the amp. No buzz was emitted by The cable as I touched the tip and inserted into the guitar. No amplification. I decided to leave the guitar and try later. After an hour I tried again and somehow it worked again. I played for a while and the decided to power off my amp. After I while I wanted to play again, and the same thing happend. Is it my cable or my amp?

Yes, it's your cable or your amp. Or, as @Tim suggested, a dirty socket either on the guitar or the amp (more likely the amp, as you got no buzz when touching the plug).
Several times I've found this with amps not used for a while. The headphone and/or line out socket is switched, and the contacts don't work that well, resulting in no sound. A spray with switch cleaner and plugging/unplugging a jack into these ports had the amps working again.
However, with scant info., it could be one of many diverse problems.
