How do I get my newly adopted cat to drink water?
you could also add/mix some water into her canned food. many kitty parents add extra water into their cats canned food. some cats do have a lower thirst drive than others, but it does sound like your girl isn’t taking in much water at all (even with the gravy part of the canned food she is eating).
How long after a kitten eats does it go to the bathroom?
While mother cats stimulate going to the bathroom after a meal, they also groom the rest of the kitten, so show it a little tenderness to keep it calm. You should wait about 15 minutes after feeding before you stimulate him to go to the bathroom again, so keep him comfortable and occupied by petting him.

Why is my cat not eating or drinking?
A couple days ago, I adopted a cat from a lady off Craigslist. We went to go pick her up, and everything seemed fine. Now that she’s home, I’m worried. She hasn’t eaten, had water, or used the potty in over 24 hours.
Why does my cat not go to the toilet?
Mind you she did not rally eat either….of course I was in panic mode, but her owner said she was absolutely fine as soon as she got home. Precisely PP, if they’re not producing much urine (not eating or drinking much) then there’ none to void ! I can, however understand your concern after 3 days.
What should I do if my new cat won’t eat?
Preferably it should be the one she is already in right now, but if that room is very well frequented all day, do move her only this one more time. In that room, offer her some boxes or blanket-caves/forts that she can hide in. Never reach into these hiding places. They are basically sacred for now 🙂 Put a cat banquet into the room.
How often should a 16 year old cat go to the toilet?
Precisely PP, if they’re not producing much urine (not eating or drinking much) then there’ none to void ! I can, however understand your concern after 3 days. Come to think of it my 16+ year-old only goes about once a day, if even that! My old tortie got accidentally locked in the airing cupboard when I was a kid, it was lovely and warm.

Is it normal for a new cat to not go to the toilet?
This is quite normal in the case of a new arrival in a new environment! Unless she appears to be straining, shows signs of painful urination then there’s no reason to worry. In the meantime I’d place her in the tray every so often and see if she reponds.

When is it safe to let my new cat out?
It can take a day, 5 days, a couple of weeks or more for your new cat to relax. 2 weeks is an average adjustment time for most cats. As long as your cat is eating, drinking, using the litter box (even if its under the bed!) and not showing any signs of illness, it is generally safe to leave them in their hiding spot.
