toilet help - she won't use her litter tray?

[Cara]

I have taken you advice to keep my cat in at night.
We put a litter tray with clay clumping litter by the locked cat-flap, we even lifted her in it and gently moved her paws in a scratching motion. She woke me up in the early hours of the morning by pushing her nose in my face and meowing to let her out for a toilet. The litter tray is in the same room as her food but not near it.
Please could you give me any advice what we are doing wrong and how we can put it right
thankyou

The only advice I can give is to use a very sandy litter which would be like the outside sand or dirt. Be patient it may take her sometime to adjust, but I think she will eventually.

Please let us know her progress. Thankyou for keeping her inside.

She has started to use her litter tray now, doing a wee.
However she is is coming in our room and waking us up by biting us!

Our cat, Whistle, used to come into our room at night and do the same thing, until eventually we just put her food, water, and litter in the kitchen during the night and kept her in there with the door shut. At first she would mew for us to let her out, but eventually she got used to it.
