It doesn't sound like this cat has any quality of life at all.
She's very old (a hundred in cat years), she can't see, she's incontinent and now she's not allowed in the house. It really sounds like keeping her alive would be in your interests, not hers.
Compare her current life to how her life was 10 years ago. If there's a big difference (I'm presuming there is) then it's time to let her go. She's had a fine long life, if you love her don't let her live on in this unpleasant condition.

The fact that the vet finds no physical issues is great! It also means you have to look elsewere. When did this start? What changes happened around the same time? Something as odd as changing brands of litter (or the litter pan) can make a cat do odd things. Remember they rely on smell ALOT. Their smell markes ownership. If her litter pan was her's alone before the baby moved in it could be it. Thik about it and I am sure you will come up with something. There used to be a product (Repell or Animal Away) that is a powder that you can sprinkle on the bathroom carpet or across the threshhold of your bedroom door to keep the cats out. There are some home remidies that do the same thing. Good Luck!

You seem to have a huge lack of knowledge about the care of cats.
First get tick and flea meds. Petshop/vet.
Second, cats DO NOT GO IN CAGES.
Thirdly while you are at the petshop get a litterbox - the cat will do it's business in there.
Vets don't KILL, they are doctors for animals, and will ONLY euthanase if they really think there's no other way.
Please take your kitty past the vet anyway, looking at ytour care of the cat, I think it can only do the poor cat good to know exactly what state the poor thing is in, since anything else is just guesswork.
You cannot just assume like you are doing, you need to educate yourself about cats.

I think i would do what is in the best interest of the cat, I have to ask what a cat that cant see is doing outside, surely he/she should be kept as an indoor cat!!!!. to prevent him/her hurting themselve.
hello again im afraid most animals pee themselves when they get old including humans, and the fleas are easily dealt with a good flea product,
hi mat litter trays are good and cats will use them if you spend a little time getting her used to it, no matter what age.

I' ld do what the vet recommends. Is she in pain? Injured?
Otherwise keep her in a quiet place, maybe confined to a room where she can't fall out the window.

If it can get around ok, leave it be, but if it is injured, you have to consider whether it is hurting. I have a 17 y.o. with some vision problems, but she's fine.
