Why is my kitten digging in litter, restless, and not pooping?

Question

My 4month ragdoll kitten is behaving odd. Running around wild mostly after going in litter & digging but not defecating. He had an issue of tapeworms and fleas. Is this the same problem? He has been very restless hyper active since a day. Am lot worried. Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 15 days old | 13 lbs

Hello! This is a worry for sure, and not likely to be related to tapeworms of fleas. It is important to make sure he is urinating! Cats can get blocked so that they can't pee (not usually at his age, but still possible). If he is urinating, that is good. But, it is possible that he is constipated, and can't pass stool; that could cause the restlessness. Would you be able to get him to a vet today, to check whether he may be constipated? He seems pretty uncomfortable, and could use some help!
