Does your cat do it's poos outside or use an inside litter tray?

Both of our cats go outside on a regular basis. We either have 'em leashed or we watch them (neither has even been an outdoor cat and with mountain lions, dogs coyotes its not safe for them outside alone) and neither will use the bathroom outside - even when they can smell other cats have used our garden.

My cat always do it outside and cover it with some dry earth.

Yes, my cat Dubby likes to mark his territory. He is neutered, and he still likes to mark his territory. He is not a very smart kitty. Oh, did I also mention that he has gotten himself injured, and he is always bringing other cats into my yard.

We only have a dog right now but we used to have a cat too. We got it a litter box and it would go to it like it was going to use it. It got in it and hung its butt outside of the box and poo'ed on the floor LOL.

hey jenny's back! yea,my blue used to rearrange the poo-his,and everyone else's. he'd shove them in the corner while meowing under his breath about it. it was hysterical to see. some cats are just so used to routine they won't break it,even when they could do it outside.

My cat is strictly an indoor cat, so he uses a litter box. He was litter trained at two weeks old [I was so proud!] and hasn't gone outside the box since. He does, however, like to play with his poop, and occasionally I'll find some of it on our kitchen floor. We're trying to break him of this habit...!

Our cats can't wait to use the box after it is cleaned. Even if they have been outside all day long, they come in and bless the box! This makes my hubby crazy! Good to see you about again!

Like your cat, mine can be out all day, and then dramatically run in to use the litter tray. I just do not understand. I have one that would rather do it in the snow than do it indoors but the other two want the indoor experience.

My mother and I both have had cats that do that. It was funny because one of her cats would hold it until she got inside and ran to the litter box. lol I have a doggy/kitty door so mine can come and go as they please but still, a few will come back in and use the litter box. I'm not sure why but maybe because it's clean sand and that they know it'll always be there for them but others just plain rather use the outdoors. I scoop my litter box twice a day every day so that my cat continues to use it and not on my floor or carpet. If the litter box is dirty, a cat will not use it because they're clean animals and will only use clean things.

This is normal if the cat has been litter trained, some cats have and will always be outside cats and they prefer the outside to do their business, however some cats take their training very seriously, and some if you have adopted them later were abused if they did their business anywhere but in the litter box. Therefore just be happy your cat is not using your house as a litter box and be patient with her.

maybe it is force of habit, what the cat is most raised with and used to. my cat has a litter box, and he uses it all the time. he is an indoor cat. i dont want him outdoor.

My cat had a litter box at the porch when he was still smaller. I rescued him last August from the bushes. Now, he's a little bigger and he no longer uses the box because one night it rained hard and the box got so wet. He always ran outside to the garden and does his thing over there near the pile of compost. But I always see him pee near the fence where i usually hang my clothes to dry LOL

My cats generally go outside when they can. But if it's too cold, they stay inside and go right BESIDE the litter tray. Very annoying.

I used to have 4 cats and only one went outside if it wasn't cold or raining. He was in the house all winter. He would always come back in to use the litter box and I thought that was strange. After reading the other responses I guess a lot of cats do that and here I thought he was unique.

My cats use their litter box and I have 11 of them and that's one of the reason why we always have to have someone in the household. We never leave our pets alone so everything stays clean and they're looked after. The 11 are adopted by the way. So, we go through tons of cat litter every week.
