I would be worried that the cat feels she can't come out, or was injured trying to get into an opening only 2.5 inches. Like mikischo stated, It is one thing when a kitty is under a lot of stress and the adrenaline is flowing when she got inside, another when she has calmed down a bit. I agree with leaving the stinky food outside of the hole to see if the kitty will come out during the night.
Good luck and keep us posted.
