A cat in a new environment may show no defecation and excessive meowing — a very common stress reaction. Cats judge the environment by smell, and suddenly changing it leaves them insecure, or they eat less, leading to no stool.
Observe the cat for two days and keep it company to help it adapt. If it goes too long without defecating or shows other abnormal signs, take it to a vet to rule out disease and treat promptly.
