in a litter box?
Yes
Cats normally bury their urine and feces. For this reason, they will urinate in litter. Providing a litter box is a great substitution.
The cost is between 6to10dollars for the average litter box.
A week. The litter can get all moldy and you should clean out the litter box once a week.
Potty training my cats were very simple. All I did was get a litter box put in my bathroom and filled it with litter and then just put the cat in the litter box and they just knew what to do and now they where to go to do their business. It also a good idea if you have multiple cats to have more than one litter box if they are inside cats. another problem is if you have a door on your litter box I'd recommend taking that off for a couple days to get them used to the litter box first. Now if you have outside cats you don't have to worry about any of this. Another thing is it might be to dark for them so maybe leave the light on.

If they don't have a litter box, it is possible that they would do that. If they do have a litter box, they are probably upset. or maybe they are old!!
Outdoor cats usually relieve themselves in a substance they can use to bury their waste. Such as sand, bark, etc.
You have to have a very clean litter box in a quiet, secluded area. Show the cat the box by gently placing him or her in it, especially after eating. Do not keep the litter box near the food and water. See these pages for good tips: http://perfectpaws.com/litter.html http://cats.about.com/od/behaviortraining/Feline_Behavior_Issues_and_Training.htm
To bury their feces. They do this in the wild as well.
Put it in the litter box. It will teach itself as their ancestors liked to cover their waste to hide the scent from other cats.
