My cat just shat in the bath

She is a timid indoorish cat, we've had intermittent problems with her peeing indoors but the past month or so she has been shitting indoors, the last 2 weeks on pretty much a daily basis. I'm at the end of my tether with it, I'm pregnant and have a toddler so it's a real health risk for both of us.

I've tried everything I can think of, litter trays outside with a roof (refuse to have one indoors, she has never had one, always uses the garden), specially dug latrine, spraying areas where she goes in the house, locking her in the kitchen overnight (downstairs bathroom means she also has access to the bathroom which is why she's used the f*cking bath) I've now slung her outside and taken her collar off, we have a magnetic cat flap so she won't be able to get back in. This will traumatise her but I don't see what else I can do.

I rang the RSPCA to get her re-homed but they're full and won't take her. We're away for a week over Xmas , the neighbours come in and feed her. I don't want to lock her out for a week because she won't cope but I don't want to come back to a week's worth of crap in the house and it's not very nice for the neighbours either.

At the moment the only thing I can think of is to get her put to sleep before we go away , has anyone else got any other ideas?

Sorry for the essay btw.

Thanks Filly, reassuring to think dd would be OK at least.

Mr Miaou, thanks for the link to Cats Protection people.

We're having mixed results with the litter tray, sometimes she uses it sometimes not. If she's not got the hang of it over Xmas when we're away then we'll go down the re-homing route. I would have done that this week tbh but my car broke down so have had no transport to take her anywhere.
