My cat hasn't pooped, is tired, and losing weight. What's wrong?

Question

My cat hasn't pooped in 2 days she really has no energy and is losing weight. Could she be constapated. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 9 years and 6 months old

Poor Dakota! It does sounds likes she's constipated, which can be caused by anal sac impaction, intestinal parasites, a foreign body, too little fiber in the diet, lack of exercise, or even tumors in the GI tract. Given that she hasn't poked in two days and is losing weight, along with being lethargic, I would have her seen by a vet right away. The vet can give her a laxative or enema to help her poop, and can diagnose the cause of her constipation. Please take her into a vet now.
