We have 2 cats and have recently relocated from overseas. Both cats travelled really well and settled in to their new home really quickly. They were kept indoors (much to their annoyance!) in our previous home due to the risk from dangerous animals/pests (snakes, spiders, paralysis ticks etc.) but we decided that it would be much nicer for them to be able to go outside and explore if they wanted to now we live in a much safer area. We kept them in for the first few months so that they were well and truly settled during which time they have happily used the litter tray but since letting them out one has stopped using the tray and decided that the corner of the kitchen or on the carpet is a much better place to pee! He deliberately comes in from outside to do it! I am getting really frustrated because I don't know how to break the cycle. I've tried all the different pet products to get rid of the smell and nothing works. And when I catch him looking to go in one of his '3 spots' I gently pick him up and take him to his litter tray but this doesn't seem to have helped. I'm really at a loss as to what to do.
He doesn't go out of the garden (the walls are very high) and no other cats get in.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
