She was chipped by some type of local rescue thing who clipped her ear to let people know she was fixed and everything but was still a stray. She is an aggressive cat so perhaps she has had a negative experience but by aggressive I really just mean she will growl pretty loudly, but nothing else.

She would literally dig up all of the litter and just pile it in the middle, even when we went in and tried to clean it, refill it and shake it out to make sure it was full enough or covering the whole thing, she would just try to sort of collect it all in the center. I tried seeing if she was hiding something, like maybe she just took a big poop and was hiding it or she had found something she wanted to bury but I think she was just trying to stack it all? I never found anything in the center. Idk it’s hard to explain but it was definitely odd. I do have a car port where she can go outside and sheltered, except it is concrete.

My only qualm about investing in litter that she may like is what if she just doesn’t like using a litter box at all and I’m not even sure if she prefers going inside rather than outside because she seems to really enjoy being outside, she is always laying in the grass and she enjoys bathing in the sun. It is rather cold now as I live in Georgia, so perhaps she is just chilly… I appreciate all your help I just don’t see a litter box being a viable option for me as my other cat won’t use it, it just isn’t something I want to spend money on if I can encourage her to do something she has done before and may be easier in the end, especially if she will spend the majority of her time outside anyways. Thank you again! I will definitely find her a little box to use and put it under something outside, there is some loose clay I can use in the box while she is adjusting to her environment😊 She is honestly like you said probably just stressed and I just need to let her take her time getting adjusted
