I doubt she was "protesting". Cats don't think like that. It's more likely she finds it very difficult and uncomfortable to use the other litter box.
Cats can't talk, so when something is wrong they have to find another way to communicate to us that something is not right in their world. Inappropriate peeing is the most common way they tell us.
Blood work will not diagnose a UTI. The vet needs to take a urine sample and test it. But I am glad to hear she is using the box in the house.

Well it was the lest I could do. I love my kittys and will do anything I can to make their living conditions comfortable. ^^
I personally don't think anything is wrong with her. I think it was probably the weather becoming too cold for her and finds it too uncomfortable to go toilet outside. I came to this conclusion because my boyfriends mother who also has two cats around the same age as Creep also started doing their business in the house instead of outside. (They are outside cats not inside like mine) So now she keeps a litter tray inside and there seems to be no problem.
I will still take her again in the new year just in case something is wrong. Better to be safe than sorry right? :3

I just noticed what you said about not liking the smell of the litter tray in the flat (who does  )
What type do you use? I find woodbased litter to be 100 x better than any other for masking smells, it has a nice woody smell even a few days after changing rather than that rank usual stench - it's surprisingly economical (last time I went to Morrisons they had a deal on, 5kg for £3.69 or thereabouts and it seems to lasts ages longer than the stoney stuff or those weird crystals) and I'm pretty sure it's the healthiest kind of litter for our cats (no nasty dust or "clumping" paper fibres which I worry about them ingesting when they wash it off their paws)... |
I usually use Sainbury's or Tesco's basic, along with litter freshener. But I'll look around for woodbased since you have recommended it.
Sadly the nearest Morrisons is quite far away. All we have where I am is Tesco's, Sainbury's, Waitrose and Pets at Home. All of which are fairly pricey. v.v
