There are several reasons that this may be the case: * If the cat's sick (like having constipation too). The cat may feel himself that he's finished w/ the litterbox business and jumps out but it may still be coming out. * He's just impatient. He just wants to get out and play so he just finishes outside. * Habitual. * Other unknown reasons :x... It could be any of those things. My cat was #2 case. I had to get top-entry box so he had to finish or else it was uncomfortable to jump up to the top cover to get out with stuff hanging off his butt, unlike just walk-out litterboxes.

What can one do with automatic cat litter boxes?

You can put cat litter in the litter box and allow your cat(s) and/or kitten(s) to use the litter box as their own personal toilet. Just don't forget to change the litter frequently or it will start to smell!


How do you retrain a rabbit to use litter box?

Rabbits can be taught, re-taught to use a litter box, rabbits normally use one corner of their hutch/cage to poo in, if you get a litter box, and put some saw dust ectra in it, then get plenty of the rabbits poo and put it in the litter tray in the corner that the rabbit poos in, the rabbit should start to use the litter box and after a few weeks of the rabbit using the tray you should be able to move the litter tray to where you want and the rabbit will continue to use it.


Is it good if your cat needs help finding his or her litter box?

it is not because if your cat cant find his/her own litter box he/she will start going on the carpet , the towels laying on the floor ,or go on the dirty clothes in the laundry room.


How can you make your kitten use the restroom outside?

It is a noted fact that cats that live indoors live longer lives. If your cat is just outside for half an hour or so and will come when you call it then there should be no problem. If your cat is outside then they are going to the bathroom outside (probably in your garden or a neighbor's garden.) You should always have a litter box in the laundry room or an out of the way place that people can't see without it being too difficult for the cat to get too. Clumping litter is excellent for clumping the poo and urine and you can scoop it out and bag it and save on wasting litter. Wal-Mart or Costco has some cheaper brands of clumping litter that work well. If you're worried about a silica in the air that is very bad for your family and also for your cat, then you can also use what i use: world's best kitty litter (that's the name of it) - it's made of corn or wheat or some grain sort of thing. it clumps like the regular clumping scoopable litter you can find in groceries, but it lasts a lot longer than that. So when you buy it, it "feels" expensive, but once you get the hang of using it (adequate amount in the litterbox, etc) you'll see that it lasts longer than regular scoopable silica based kitty litter, so overall the cost comes out about same.


How do you get a kitten to use the litter box?

This is a very common question to all cat/kitten owners. Kittens are much easier to train. These are a list of steps of how to get your animal to use the litter box. 1 Find a decent size litter box with sides low enough for your cat to get in and out 2 Pour 1-2 inches of cat litter in the bin 3 After meals and naps take the cat to the litter box and put it in 4 The cat should immediately start to dig and remove its waste in the whole it dug then it will cover it back up -this is natural instinct-if it doesn't do this don't panic just keep doing it and it will get the hang of it 5 If the cat doesn't do anything take its paw and make a digging motion in it a few times 6 After the cat does its buisness give it a treat to ensure confidence 7 It may take a few weeks for your cat to start to use the litter box but 95% of cats/kittens will use it properly within the next 3 weeks- the other 5% of cats and kittens will learn eventually and it will just take time.
