why would a cat stop using the litter tray??

[Mexican cuties]

Our 12 year old cat has always used our flower bed or the litter tray, but over the last week this morning being the worst one yet she has decided that the doormat is much easier, have washed it thoroughly the last few times and used the enzyme cleaner to neutralise any smell but facing that first thing in the morning was awful as it wasn't exactly solid shall we say

Could it be her age, she is eating and drinking fine???

Thank you once again, large litter tray, nothing has changed there , had checks a year ago so will get them to do full mot first thing next week, she does seem slow sometimes before she settles

Don't want to lose another one😿

Thanks have feliway for fireworks, she is now on a sensitive diet, nothing has changed ref stress levels, loves to go nose to nose with nali our chihuahua and he is protective of her, took her to vet coz of scratch marks on face due to local feral cat, so not sure if that's it, she is a British short haired and not done this before??

Hate it when they get older
