Pet's info: Cat | Snowshoe | Female | 3 years and 5 months old | 11 lbs
I don't think my cat has been using the litter box. I've seen her go but when I check the litter box I don't really see anything. The strange thing is that she's eating and drinking normally. She hasn't been vomiting, her behavior hasn't changed, when she uses the litter box she isn't straining or looks uncomfortable. She still runs around the house and plays and she's been sleeping normally. When I rub her belly her stomach feels fine and there's no discomfort.

Kimchi is beautiful! Continue to monitor her and look for any places in the house other than the litterbox that she may be urinating or defecating. Maybe she has decided she doesn't want to go in that box, like if you just changed the brand or type of litter, for example. If she seems completely normal, then she probably is. If she goes outside at all, then she may have started doing these things outside as well, which is less work for you! Keep an eye on her. Hope that helps!
