It is not uncommon for dogs and cats on a boiled rice and chicken diet or a prescription bland intestinal or gastrointestinal diet to not poop for 2-3 days as the bland diet is usually mostly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and not much is left to be defecated as stool. If Mochi is eating and not vomiting and has a normal activity level/does not seem painful/uncomfortable when her belly is touched. I would make sure that she has plenty of water and offer laxatone (an oral laxative for hairballs daily) if available and she will likely defecate within the next day or two. If she does not, an exam at her vet’s and sedation prior to manual deobstipation may be indicated. Good luck!
