The litter tray or litter box is used to mimic the toilet habits of what a cat would do in the wild. Cats like to bury their waste to mask the smell. In the wild, the smell of faeces or urine is a very powerful marker for other cats, or even predators. By masking the smell, a cat will have a lower risk of being found by a predator or a rival cat.
Because this behaviour is so ingrained in domestic cats, litterboxes serve as an easy way of allowing a cat to toilet without it needing to go outside.

How many litter boxes will you need if you have 5 cats?
Ideally, you should have one litter box per cat plus one extra. So, for 5 cats, you should have a total of 6 litter boxes. This will help prevent territorial issues and provide enough options for the cats to use.
How many kittens cans live in a house?
When they are babies, kittens are happy in just about any conditions. The more kittens the better, that gives them more playmates. As kittens grow up, they will start having the space and privacy needs of adult cats. Around 4 months you will start to see kittens become nervous and unhappy if there are too many cats around. A good rule is that you should have 1 litterbox for each cat, plus 1. So if there is not enough room in your house to leave a generous amount of space between the litterboxes, you have too many cats. This especially applies to indoor-only cats, who can't wander off next door when they feel like being by themselves.
My male rabbit just turned 5 months and decided he does not want to use his litter box all the time why?
I do not know rabbits; I know cats. This info pertains to cats, and I'm only listing it to give you a start. There are many websites available to help, so search "rabbit litter box" "rabbit rescue" "pet rabbit behavior" for more related suggestions. With cats, there can be many reasons they choose to avoid the litterbox. Is this new behavior, or has the he recently developed problems? First, you should have a veterinarian check to make sure there are no medical problems involved. Cats can avoid litterboxes because of urinary infections and other illnesses. After you rule out illness, you need to consider other issues. Is there a new family member? Is there increased stress in your household? Could he be stressed or trying to get your attention? Are you keeping the litterbox clean enough for him? Cats can be extremely picky. Some cats need at least two litterboxes. Some will only urinate in one box and poo in another. Some will not use a litterbox with even one previous mess in it. Maybe your rabbit needs a cleaner litterbox. Perhaps the litterbox is in the wrong place. Is it somewhere where he might feel threatened or can't escape, like a corner or high-traffic area? Is it someplace that smells like another pet? When he doesn't use the litterbox, is he going in the same spot(s)? Perhaps you need to move the litterbox there and add another litterbox if there's more than one regular spot. Cats are predators and rabbits are prey, so their behavior and needs are very different. Still, hopefully these cat suggestions will get your brain working out of the box so your rabbit might start working in his box.
