Not using the litter box can be a sign of a medical illness, such as feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stone. I would recommend taking your girl into your vet today for an exam. Your vet can do routine blood tests and a urinalysis to see if she does have feline idiopathic cystitis or bladder stones. If she has feline idiopathic cystitis, she will need a steroid to treat it. Bladder stones may need to be removed surgically, or can be managed with diet. Please take her in today.
