How about making her an inside/outside cat ?

Some cats won't use a litter tray and prefer to toilet outside. If the area is safe with quiet roads, install a cat flap !!!!

But I am pleased you bought her back inside today as NO cat deserves to live outside permanently.

My vets says there is a link between (SOME not all) totally inside cats and toilet problems.

Something to do with the fact these cats get really attached to their home, any changes in the home really affect cats, even something as minor as a new cushion can be upsetting.

As inside/outside cats have a bigger outside territory, they are less upset by interior changes in the home.
Anybody want a peeing cat? She's cute.
If you were nearer. Or you could just pop Jen's Annie in the same case and ship them over
