Ok, this might be a dumb question but... How often do cats need to use the litter box?
I have a 13 years old female cat (not spayed). I left her 2 years at my parents' place because former roommate was allergic, and now that he left I took her home yesterday morning (it's 3PM right now where I live).
After the initial shock of moving, she seems to be doing fine now. She ate (she's not a big eater though, and has never been), now she's moving around exploring the place and sometimes coming back for some cuddles. I even saw her grooming herself earlier today. She actually seems to be a bit in a playful mind, climbing around etc. She still gets startled when a weird noise happens and runs to my bedroom, but quickly comes back out.
I showed her the litter box several times, but so far hasn't used it. I checked everywhere, she hasn't peed or pooped in any random place. How long before I should be worried?
Pic related, it's the little fucker checking around her new place.

It probably has a kidney stone. Soak its food in 1 cup of antifreeze to dissolve the kidney stone and cure it.

i mean ive gone 7 days not pooping because of travelers constipation, she probably just needs time to adjust

Mostly sure it's the same for cats--my dog refused to poop for two days when we moved apartments, and it took a long while to get him to pee, too. Spent a lot of time being paranoid he'd shit in the house so he returned to "puppy rules" for a while (crated whenever he wasn't supervised, bathroom breaks every two hours, etc). Chalk it up to moving stress. The animal doesn't understand moving.
If you're really worried, take it to the vet. I'd personally wait until two or three days had passed before I worried.

Stop trying to make people kill their pets and go back to the cess pit of /b/.

When my rommmate adopted his cat the cat didn't use the litterbox until I moved it into the room that the cat had taken refuge in. You could try that until she's more comfortable.
