My cat only poops every few days. Is she constipated or healthy?

Question

Hello, I’ve noticed when cleaning my cats litter box she has maybe only pooped once every 3 days or so and it’s making me worried. She eats 1/3 cup of Wellness grain free dry food and about 1/6 can of wet food daily. She is medium haired and around 9 pounds. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | 3 years and 8 months old | 9 lbs

There may not be so much residue from the food and most of it may be digestible. So she would not be producing so much stool. I would not worry about it as long as she eats and drinks and actually has a bowel movement. Just like people the intervals of having a bowel movement vary greatly.
