Mosey,

Forget about trying to train your cats where to go outside. We have 2 indoor cats and 8 outdoor cats. The indoor cats will use the litter box 95% of the time... the other 5% is a mystery. The box hasn't moved, the dogs haven't bothered them. My theory is their just vindictive little bxxxxrds.

Our 8 outdoor cats have two barns to live in, both with litter boxes. They will use the litter boxes 60% of the time, the other 40% they will use my wife's flower beds. No amount of scolding has changed this behavior. I think they're ticked off because their not allowed inside.

Good luck, Doug
