Thank you Job for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it very much.
And I realize when I said "the cat might be homeless" that I would definitely give her to a rescue or maybe put her down. I wouldn't just turn her outside in the middle of winter. She is a rather old, fat, dirty, crabby cat... her odds of getting adopted are slim. I am nearly certain she is doing this because of the stress in the house. We have a very spacious litter box and it is kept well maintained. No changes to the litter or any of the other obvious stuff.
