It sounds like Luka could be painful. Neck pain, back pain or stomach pain could make Luka reluctant to move around the house. While kitty litter or toilet paper could cause stomach pain if there was an obstruction it is not very likely unless Luka has also been vomiting. I would recommend seeing your veterinarian who can examine Luka and look for a source of pain.
