My cat use to be indoors, now she has a lot of land. How can I make her poop outside?

Hello!! My cat is still young and she grew up indoors but now we moved to a new house where she has plenty of nature to run and be free! But she still uses the litter box!!

I hope somebody helps me changing that habit!! Thank you

she probably going when you not looking.

you can try taking  some dirt and mix it with her litter and increase the dirt and decrease the litter over time until it just dirt

It can be quite good to have a litterbox as you know whether there's anything amiss.. checking poo is something I do quite regularly..


As for getting her to go outside, it could be a difficult habit to break.  I'd tend to do it the other way around and add some used litter to the dirt outside.

I'm currently trying to win this fight. Sparticus never had a litter box until we moved 6 months ago. He had to be inside where I was staying and now we are in our new place he is in at night but free to come and go during the day. He thinks the litter box is a glorious thing. He doesn't have to look for a spot to do his doos. Grrrr I'm locking it away during the day and he has access at night. Guess who is now pooping at night! I will win this one I will....

First night without her box and pooped in the sink!! But I believe she did some outside. I also try to keep her most of the time outside but my door is always open so she does what she wants. HAHA!! We will win this one!!!!

I did that and it worked!! This is my third day without any smell on my house!! I built a pet door today so now I don´t even have to wake up in the middle of the night to open the door!! She is so amazing!! She loves it!!

Thank you for the tip!!
