Help needed please .... :)?

I have an 11 month old cat from a rescue home. He's beautiful and I love him to pieces but the problem is he doesn't seem to understand the concept of going outside to perform his toiletry habits :). I'm assuming wherever he was before he was never allowed outside and must have used a litter tray all the time.



I have two older cats and they all get along, but although he will now go outside to play with them he still comes inside to perform. I've tried taking some of his 'offerings' out to the garden to show him where he can go but that hasn't worked and I really don't know how to get round the problem. Any sensible ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Start gradually, get used to his habits first, does he goes to the bathroom usually after eating usually? after nap times? then find out about HIS new surroundings, put yourself in his paws, is there lots of cats in the neighborhood? Cats are private and favorite private areas. Once you've thought like your cat- gradually start taking a clump of used litter, preferably wet ones if the other cats are male, to a soil or sandy area, introduce them to it at the proper time and magic will happen, once the cat fells comfortable (usually 1 or 2 times). When he is out he'll rather stick to the fresh open air (leaving his litter box dirty, but still sanitary, for awhile will want him to broaden his horizons and air)

take the litter box outside
i dunno really, have u tlked to the vet? try some cat repellent, but really i dnt no
Get a litter box and put it in the garden, next time he goes, put the "cat surprise" in the litter box, then put him in the litter box with it out in the garden. Repeat that.
I had a cat like this and only cured him by leaving him outside for ten hours, so he had no choice! I did put his food and water outside too.
try taking a litter box outside, if he still does poop inside you will need to give him a smack every time he does so he gets the idea, not hard u doont want to hurt the lil fella but just so he understands what ur trying to say here
If he wants to go in the litter box, maybe you could put the litter box in the house and after he starts using it, put it outside and have him use it there until he gets used to going outside. Good luck~~
Sometimes once a cat is litter trained you cannot get it to go outside. I have taken my cat out on a harness and had her come in just to go to the bathroom. Chances are this cat was strictly an indoor cat and you might never get it to go outside. What you did was the proper thing, taking offerings out to the garden, bottom line is your cat has made his decision. Perhaps those cheap cardboard boxes they sell (temporary litter boxes) at grocery stores would work, or a pan you can keep outside when he is out there. Good luck.
1. Take out one of the litter boxes with you.



2. Keep him outside a little bit longer when he can't hold no more, making him have no choice to go outside.



3. Or just allow him to use the litter box in the house when ever he needs to go. He might like the privacy (some cats are that way).
laru had a good idea that may just work.... put the litter box out door where he can see it
take the litter box outside,put some dish washer in it and let the cat smell it.4 or five days later pour the litter where you want the cat to poop.He's gonna poop there a few days later.



don't forget to put his water and food outside,too.



Good luck!
every day move the box a little closer to the door and eventually outside , the take it away completely that worked for my kitty!
