Is she spayed?
I wouldn't be encouraging it TBH. Your neighbours won't be happy. It's also really good to have them used to a tray in case they have to be shut in for any reason.

Tip some of the litter in a spot outside and remove the litter tray. Mine would use a litter tray if there is one available indoors (especially if it raining).

Get ride if tray. Keep an eye for squatting and leap into action when she starts. Chuck her out asap.

Cats are very smart and learn fast not to poo inside but with the tray there she'll never learn.

Why can’t she keep pooping inside? My cats go outside most of the day but we still have two litter boxes. Better than poop in my garden!

She’s in the garden pretty much most of the day and we keep her in at nighttime. I’d have no problem with her to continue using the tray however we have dogs and if you don’t clean it up as soon as she’s done it they’ll eat it (gross I know) I’ll try putting some litter in the garden and see if that works thanks guys!
