You really need to get her to the vet as blockage is very serious. If it goes on too long it might require surgery.

Conditions that may result in a constipated cat are numerous, and some are severe, so a veterinarian should see any constipated cat. The constipated cat may have blockages or tumors that are causing feces not to be able to pass easily through the intestines. Most often, the constipated cat is dehydrated, and may need initial intravenous fluids. Dehydration tends to occur most often in older cats, though it can be noted in younger cats. Be certain to always offer clean, fresh water to cats, and refill water bowls frequently during the hot season.

Agreed - see a vet if it has been a while since her last bowel movement! This is how I learned that my cat had ingested an entire bag of thick ouchless hairbands and had thus blocked up her stomach, not allowing her to digest food!!

Your vet can tell you if it’s serious or not. Good luck!!
