Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Lumi! Lumi is a young little guy and he may be clingy because he misses his siblings or want comfort with something. I would be sure you are feeding him kitten food. Formula can constipate. I would put him in a room with a flat litter pan (baking pan) that he can easily get in to. Keep putting him in there, dig around with your fingers. It is hard to give you an estimate of costs when we are not sure what is going on. If it has been over a day with out pee and over 3 with out poop he should see a Vet. An exam is on average $50. Ask for an estimate if they recommend other testing. I hope this helps!
