Outdoor cats usually relieve themselves in a substance they can use to bury their waste. Such as sand, bark, etc.
They don't like the kind of litter that is in the litter box or the litter in the litter box needs to be changed.

You could train it to use outside as a bathroom. Just bring it outside to use the bathroom every once and while until it knows to use outside as the bathroom. Or just get a new litter box, completely different from the last one.
You may need a longer litter box. I bought just a plain plastic one at a hardware store or places like Walmart or Zellers. Then use clumping kitty litter and be sure to clean out the kitty litter box every day with a slotted scooper and bag it and throw it in the garbage. Many cats don't like dirty litter boxes and I own one! LOLAnswerSometimes the cats just get impatient and want to get over with bathroom and get out there and play. I've even heard of a case where the owner bought the big litter box with cover over it so the kitty litter won't be everywhere on the floor. The cat simply just poked his head in, pretended that he's "inside" and pooped outside. So it's really your kitty thinking to itself "oh, I'm relieved" and thinking it's the right place. After all, the front half is in! -_-;;; My cat was getting bigger and his left foot was hanging out of the litter box (he wouldn't go all the way in), and sometimes the peed half in and half out of the box. These things happen. That's why I got top-entry litter box! He can't just pretend to be inside or not. He has to go inside to see the litter. If your cat continues to pee outside the box even with this box, then it's behavioral problem (your cat just doesn't want to go to litter box to pee) rather than litter box problem.Simply get a litter box with taller sides.you could get a dome litter box, one with a lid. then the cat's pee would hit the side of the box instead of going outside of it.
Often, when a cat leaves feces in places other than its litter box, it means the litter box is dirty. If you declawed your cat, it could be too painful to get into the litter box. Or the cat could be suffering from diarrhea or joint pain.
A cat mat is used to keep the cat litter box area clean. A cat mat is placed under the litter box so that if any litter gets out of the litter box, it goes on the cat mat instead of the floor.
I read on PetCareRx that feline diabetes, urinary tract infection, or a scarred bladder can be the primary reason why your cat is pooping outside the litter box. It can also be due to kidney stones or simply old age. It is a good idea to consult with a vet if you are concerned about this.

Whenever he poops on the couch take the poo and put it in his litter tray usually cats walk around a lot when they are about to wee or poo if you see him do this quickly pick him up and put him in the litter tray repeat this process for a week or two and hopefully your cat will soon realise where to poo.
Remove the litter box and keep a window cracked open... Remove the litter box and keep a window cracked open...
there is something in the litter box that he/she doesn't like. try something new in the litter box and see how it does. it will take a few days.
If you have had any other cats that peed outside of their litter box, your cat may be marking its territory. If not, your cat may have a urinary track infection. If it was my cat, I would take it to the vet to get it checked out.
See a veterinarian.
It could mean that the litter box is dirty. Some cats refuse to urinate in a litter box which contains visible feces. It could also mean they have difficulty getting into the litter box. Maybe the box is too tall, or maybe they have medical issues. Cats may also exhibit different urination habits after getting fixed.
When people say 'Think outside of the box' they mean think creatively.

When she has an accident, put her and the feces into the litter box. Use a stick to "dig" in the litter, and push it over the feces. Kittens normally learn from their moms. But sometimes, humans must teach them this skill. Don't reprimand them--the cat won't understand your words or tone of voice.If kitty is using the same spot over and again, try putting the litter box there for a few days.
