My cat won't eat his food. He has peed, but hasn't pooped since sunday. He hasnt touched the food I put out for him. Even when I put it right in front of him and try to feed him pieces individually

It sounds like Charlie may be constipated. I would recommend taking him to the veterinarian to check. If he is constipated he may need an enema and medication to make his stool soft. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
