Just a thought, could you use fruit boxes? Easier to cut down.

Trying to look at what type you mean

They need to withstand scratching/digging and a lot of pee

Wax lined fruit box free from a green grocer. Then you can cut down one of the sides to how you want and what's comfortable for puss. Line it with heavy duty plastic sheeting.

Melting plastic will cause bad fumes if you're sensitive to smells.

Ah ok, she might scratch through the liner but I’ll keep it in mind

I meant make a prototype before you buy or modify something because we all know cats can be picky.
