Is she just fussy?

Over the last week, 10 month old kitten is pooping less frequently and is very fussy about eating.  We're 98% sure that her fussiness is not from illness but a teenage rebellion!  Because of her age, she's also slowing down and expelling less energy than she did as a kitten.  She's a small thing, only 4.6 pounds, so she doesn't really eat much anyways.  Because of her fussiness, she's been eating less than normal, though. Any advice on what the problem could be?  Also, how can we overcome her hunger strikes?

Yes, she was spayed at around 6 months.

I would get her to the vet to make sure she's not getting a urinary infection or that she's not constipated.

She's been urinating just fine, but yes, we believe she's slightly constipated.  At this point we're just going to see if it passes, but definitely head to the vet if she doesn't improve.   Thank you for your advice!
