ok strange q but how often should a cat/ does your cat go

#2?

I googled and keep reading at least 1 a day, our cat came home on Tue evening, she didn't go that night, she went once yesterday and none today, so I think she is constipated. She was also hacking a bit this evening, about 30 min on and off and then it stopped, seems fine now. I read that could be hairball.
We give her dry food-leave out all day and wet food morning and night, she is on medication for upper respiratory infection, I give her supplements for shedding and gave her worm medicine today so wondering if all this stuff is causing her to be constipated
She does drink water and is eating fine.
Is this something I should be worried about? I feel so bad for this little guy

If your kitty is eating and drinking, I wouldnt worry about it. It is a new home for her and she is probably still getting used to everything. My cat typically does go once a day but there have been times a day or two could go by. As for hairballs, I give a malt hairball remedy (comes in a tube). I squeeze an inch or so out of the tube and Sushi licks it right from the tube that way. I did have to buy tuna flavor because she didnt like the malt

She went this morning and I was so excited you would think I found gold in a litter box , lol
She does seem fine, she is eating, drinking , sleeping, playing.... she is perfect and so very cute!

Thank you

Once a day. If it happens again your vet can give you laxative drops to add to your cats food
