I am concerned about my cat as I noticed he hasn't pooped since last night. It's now noon the next day and when I changed his litter box, there was only pee. He is eating, drinking and playing, so he seems fine. Should I be concerned, or is this normal?
Thanks in advance

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
Sleeves and Nismo both poop up to 3 times a day. I do remember when Sleeves was a young baby a few times noticing he hadn't pooped overnight and then for quite a bit of the day and then he'd go as normal.
I only get worried if theres crying before pooping.

It's very good that you have been paying attention to how often your kitty has a BM that can be a sign that something is wrong. Reilly has a poo once or twice a day. Of course like any other creature sometimes their tummies can be a bit off and they can get constipated. I would be concerned if you notice it's 2 days with no pooping or was said earlier the kitty is straining to poop. Sometimes hairballs can cause constipation too.

All three of my cats also only poop once per day. I would agree with Miss Mew, if there are no poops in two days, I would be concerned.

I would be interested to know about other kitties and when we should become concerned.

chloe poops several times a day, but they are small poops. she likes to eat, go make room for more and eat again lol. i asked the vet and he said as long as her poops were normal and she was eating good, not to worry. she just likes to poop ^-^
