I adopted a 4 year old, female cat who has been living in the streets her whole life. She is a very nice girl, we fell in love with her already.
She is spayed by the way, a woman that was taking care of the street cats in that area took her to the vet a few months ago.
So, we took her home after going to the vet yesterday, she was hiding which i thought was pretty normal. (It was around 3 pm when we took her home.) She didn't eat, drink or pee/poo until the next morning. I finally got her to eat some wet food around 10-11 am. She allows me to pet her and purrs whenever i do so.
BUT, she only peed once, on a green little blanket that i had put on the floor. I did show her her litter box, i put her in it a couple of times, i took her paws and did the digging motion but it doesn't seem like she gets the idea.
It's 9 pm now, so it's been 30 hours and she still hasn't pooped. She also ate very little (half a can of wet food. The vet recommended that she eats twice a day and that one of her meals should be wet food, the other one should be dry food. She said that i should only give the half of the can as well.)
She didn't drink water at all. Also she stays put whatever i put her. I'm conserned that she is eating very little because she really needs to poop/pee.
I would be very relieved if she went to the litter box but at this point it doesn't really matter. I just want her to be okay.
Any advices?
