Most likely she has a urinary tract infection or even bladder stones. Very strong smelling urine is a symptom that she may be trying to hold it for a long time and does not want to mess in the house but is unable to. Please have her seen by the vet and a urinalysis done to find the problem.

She may not seem like it is painful but even a simple infection is at least very uncomfortable.

I would not try to diagnosis it yourself by unqualified advice.

Urinary problems can be serious so it is best to let the vet check using professional staff and equipment.  But choose a vet carefully.  There are good and bad as in everything so do not hesitate to change if you do not have completely confidence in the present one.

Feed-back at a later date would be appreciated  :)

Take her to the vet as soon as possible. At her age she could have a bladder infection or worse that is causing her bladder to expel any urine because it is irritated.
