There have been no more accidents, she is using her new litterbox in the
bathroom that I really should have understood that she needed before now.
An hour ago she raced upstairs to use it,  Yes, she ran very fast despite
the fact that she could have just gone outside the open door and found a
spot.

She doesn't seem to want to go outside much any more.  There aren't many
neighbourhood cats but she would be too frail to stand up to them now.
Everything she needs is now in the house and as long as Boyfie will continue
to bring her his catches she will be happy.

Sometimes it can be very hard to understand what they need.  I'm so
glad that you have figured it out.

She may need one on the first floor too.  When Princess (RB 16) was
failing, at the last she had trouble getting to her litter box.  I covered
the floor with a huge plastic drop cloth because she would just "let it go"
Then I placed a litter box close to her bed.   Best wishes.  I hope she
stays well and happy for a long time.   MLB

she's a smart girl. I'm sure it's just that weather probably seems much
more extreme now to her too, even though it might be fairly temperate
and she just feels safer inside. I'm so glad this worked out.

That's great!  Good for KFC.  Maybe you should have another litterbox
for her downstairs?  That way she wouldn't have to race up the stairs.

What a good girl! (Hope she doesn't mind me calling her a 'girl')

She was just a normal little kitty after all, just wanting her box!
It's interesting how they just come naturally litter trained, even
when they've been an outdoor cat practically forever.

Indeed
Max moved in after he was one year old. He was wild.
He watched me pour the litter in the box and went right to it.
Never went anywhere else in the house.

They are so grateful to have a soft patch to scratch.

She is *so* thrilled with her litterbox it's like she got Christmas and her
birthday all at once.  I could kick myself for not recognising that when she
was peeing behind the woodburner she was saying "I am far too old to go
outside to toilet now."  Instead, I got a bit cross with her about it.  I
could not see why on earth she couldn't go a few steps outside when the door
was always open.
Anyway, it's all sorted now.  She loves having a litterbox in the house, all
the inappropriate peeing and pooing has stopped and I am happy to clean it
out for her in deference to her great age.
Blimey, I didn't realise how much clumping litter sticks to the bottom of
the box when it's been peed on ;-)

Well you haven't had cats before. It's a learning experience. Sometimes
people spray the bottom of the box with that cooking spray oil we call
Pam (don't know what you call it over there). A little deeper litter
helps too.

Awww, I'm so glad that's all it took.  Make the litter at least 4 inches
deep and most of the pee balls won't reach the bottom of the box.

At risk of looking lazy, far less litter sticks to the bottom of the box if
you wait a little longer to scoop it out.  Or as an alternative, use more
litter and if she isn't a big time digger the clumps often won't make it to
the bottom.

Only pees and one poo are allowed in this box.  The minute I notice a poo in
it, I will clean it out.  If I have to go to the porcelain throne I don't
want my gaze to wander and notice a kitty roll right next to me.
I would just die if I had a visitor and they asked to use the toilet and saw
that.

LOL.  Tell Kitty that a lady buries. :)

She evidently isn't a lady then!  There was another one on top of the litter
this morning when I got up.  Maybe she is proud of it and wants to show me
or something.
Gross warning:   scroll down

I have to say as cat poos go (and I am no expert) they looked pretty perfect
(in the medical sense) to me.  Firm and in several round lumps joined
together with a longer bit in the middle.  (Sorry, but I have to know, does
this sound like okay cat poo?)  In a dog it would be.

Yes.   I've noticed that myself - I'm getting worried.
