IF your cat isn't pooping, then she has to be constipated. She needs to see a vet right away to find out why. Also if she isn't pooping, then she would have signs of discomfort and vomiting, so if these signs are not present, then she is likely pooping somewhere in the house that you have not found yet, so it would be advised to look around thoroughly before rushing to your vet. I do hope that your furry friend Kitty is going to be ok moving forward. Take care.
