Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How old is your cat? From the picture she looks a bit sick. If she can not poop she may be constipated. Constipation is a symptom of something else either kidney disease or intestinal disease. Since she isn't eating well and is drinking a lot, I recommend a Veterinary exam and full blood work. Causes of increased thirst are: kidney failure, liver disease, diabetes, cancer, hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid). I hope this helps and I wish you both the best!
