If he was using with the litter tray then i would revert completely back to this step for 3-4months to ensure he relearns and does not get the habit of using the entire house. Some cats never adapt to the seat and he is unlikely to take the leap at the current stage, by not providing him a comfortable alternative his house training may suffer in the long term

In my experience this training is not very effective and should be ideally performed earlier in life. I don’t think there is any “litter tray lobby” (yet), si there is no consensus about it. I can’t see how it could be detrimental for cat. I would suggest to remain with the same old school method.

Start now with closing the cat door at night and keeping Kitter in with a litter box available. After a few days or a week keep him inside only. That way he will adjust before the stress of moving. Most cats naturally use the litter box but you may want to confine him to a smaller area with the box at night when he's in. Use plain litter without fragrance and clean it daily and fully empty it and scrub it with mild dish washing soap weekly. Cats are fussy and if the box is dirty they can start going out of the box. Also pick up bath mats and laundry so he doesn't start urinating on those. He should be fine, most cats adjust well. Make sure you play with him a lot and he may enjoy a cat tree since he is probably used to more exercise when he's outside. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Kitter.

If you don't have money to purchase several litter boxes, you can use things like lasagna pans or even like small, shallow cardboard boxes that cans of cat food come in. Either of these are suitable containers for holding cat litter. The best way to train cats to use the litter box is to confine them to smaller areas with litter boxes until they are using them with regularity. Once they are, consider expanding the area of freedom slowly day by day until you are confident in their ability to go to the bathroom in the appropriate location.

I would start with getting all new boxes, Cat Attract litter, Feliway, and confining her to a small room to retrain her. Slowly let her have more access to the house. Moggy may also benefit from anti-anxiety and pain medications when she is having a flare up. This is something your veterinarian can discuss more in depth with you.
