Your stray cat isn't a stray. It's feral and is used to humans. You are very unlikely to ever successfully take a cat that has been living outdoors for years and turn it into an animal that will be happy indoors.

Yes she is definitely a she, a neighbor trapped her and had her fixed after having a litter.
We absolutely love her and would hope to have her back but what ever is in her best interest.
It doesn't seem to be marking because she doesnt do it by a door or near were my other cat is. The cats also know each other already and were friendly with each other on the porch.
We took her into the vet acouple of years ago and all of her lab work was good.

This. If she isn’t spayed that is the most obvious reason this is happening. Second would be a urinary issue, but that is typically more common in male cats.

Is she spayed? That often reduces instances of spraying.

You should see a vet first. Cats don't need potty training. The fact that she's not going in the box is indicative of something else, possibly a medical issue.
Are you sure it's a girl? Is she spayed?
Are you looking for someone to adopt her permanently or?

Its marking. She will always do it. Letting my cat out made him stop doing that in the house but that might not work for you

Chautauqua Institution in NY is a really neat old town on a beautiful lake. Only been in the summer so I’m not sure how it is now.

The only thing that has worked in the 11 years we've been here is to spray milk in a 1:3 ratio every 2 weeks on anything you don't want eaten. More often if it rains.

Yes. Two rows, differing heights, and they really appreciated the foil strips we hung from the wires, because it let them know just where to repeatedly smell and receive current in the face. Since our backyards are connected, this has been something we've spent time working on, together.
Suburban deer don't care about your fences and deterrents. They've got every night to figure out how to get around it. They're not deer from out in the country who get easily discouraged.

Was his this type with 2 rows? I've also read making the lines very visible is important so they don't run into it

It doesn't work. My next door neighbor has had an electric fence in his backyard for 4 years, and year-round, at least once a month, he's out there re-stringing it because a herd fucking runs through it instead of attempting to jump.
The herd stands in the backyard for hours, until one of them is dumb enough to stumble into it, at which point they freak out, and they tangle themselves and tear it down. They're not deterred, at all. They'll gladly nose around underneath it and try to crawl under.

I'd say safe-ish. You're not far from the rough end of town, but so long as you're used to city living you should be fine. They're working in the area a lot to improve/gentrify (depending on your stance).

Yup. We did asparagus for a couple years until we just took it out and stopped. For as much as we eat, we'd need to devote more space for it, and it wasn't worth the effort.

It's cool, we're allowed to go slumming every now and then. We get vouchers in our monthly newletter.

I haven't assumed, which is why I asked if this is a norm . I have heard people mention about the county increasing taxes and I just wanted to know if we need to act on it. Also, we have been getting mailers from lawyers , so mostly curious

I don't know many feral cats that like belly rubs. I'm not willing to give up on her that easy.
