Some say that cats mark out their territory by leaving their pungent poop/urine where it counts, as they see it. So you could acknowledge kitty's need for this by leaving toys or treats where it counts and talking gently to kitty about things. "Bit too smelly for us..."..."Hey, it's your home too, but..." Give kitty time to settle in, might be a while, like humans need, to relax in a new home.

I swear our cat gets the gist of what we are saying. Confirm this by watching kitty's eyes and facial expression. Either/or.

My cat refused the litter box in our loo, but liked it in the kitchen; our kitchen is very large (no poop near food) but our toilet is small. When we first homed her at 4 years old, she was obedient to us, a sweetie trying to fit in, so the loo was ok. Also we empty the litter box as soon as she does her business.
