Oh, not good. Cats are usually very clean animals. VERY! Do you think her
sense of
smell is in some way impared?? Perhaps a trip to the vet could be usefull.

Right let's wrack the brains: you could try, instead of a cat litter, just
putting the newspaper in the tray. See if she still rolls in it. If not,
give
it a few days for her to get out of the habbit then slowly start adding the
litter in the tray.

Let's think, Cats like rolling in dirt or send.

OK,change the type of a litter: try wooden based or curdboard based.
Something that reminds her less of sand.

Or,  Provide temporarely an extra big tray filled with sand. Change your
litter tray temporarely (at the same time) to a tiny small one which she
cannot roll in as it is too small. Praise her when she rolls in the big one,
and pick her up and say NO if she rolls in small one, then quickly pick her
up and place in other tray. Same if she does a wee or poo in the wrong
tray.This can be tricky as you don;t want to alienate her from using the
tray alltogether.

Finally you may try buying one of the trays with covers, either fully
covered or just the sides. It might prevent her from rolling in it.

Good luck and please let us know what happens. This is  a new problem I
never encountered, and would be interested in what works.

Best wishes to you both
