Hey, so we would really like to have our cat's stool and or urine tested. However, our cat is an outdoor/indoor cat. She goes to the bathroom outside unfortunately and we have no idea where. We have seen her in the neighbor's yard before kicking up dirt but before. Do you guys have any experience in this matter? She has never used a litterbox since the first day we got her, always gone outside. I had seen some suggestions that you could keep her confined to one room but the problem there is that she would go crazy and destroy everything trying to get out. Any tips would be great. As of late we have been spying on her!

The vet can get a urine by cystocentesis (needle in the bladder) and the stool with a fecal loop. The amount of stool won't be huge but should be enough to do a fair number of tests. And, yeah, tracking your cat :)
