Hi there...if you recently adopted your cat, it may be still anxious and hasn't settled into the home. Ideally, it's best to keep a newly adopted cat in a small quiet room for a few days with it's litter box, food, water, bedding and some toys to help with the adjustment time. Visiting the cat quietly in this room will also help the cat learn to gain trust with it's new family as well. However, if you had your adopted cat for awhile and it is unable to relieve itself, it may be as a result of a medical issues such as constipation or a lower urinary tract infection (UTI). In male cats a UTI URGENTLY requires immediate medical attention as their urethra becomes blocked as urine cannot pass which is very life-threatening within a day or two. Female cats also can get urinary tract infections, however they rarely get blockages, but still both genders require medical attention. Generally, after an evaluation is performed the cat is treated respectively usually with a two week course of antibiotics. In male cats if there is a blockage surgery may be necessary.

The cat may have an intestinal blockage that makes it difficult or impossible to have a bowel movement and should be seen by a veterinarian AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Call a veterinarian hospital and ask to speak with a vet or a vet technician and explain what has been going on and for how long. They will be able to explain more to you and tell you whether or not the cat needs medical intervention right away and can also give you ideas as to what to do for your cat. Please don't wait, though.

Clean the litter box and move it to a less-trafficed area. Make sure the cat is getting a little oil or fat in its diet, particularly if it is an older cat. Try canned cat food.
