We recently (two months ago) moved house. In our old house we had a hallway and always kept a litter tray in there as our cats are shut in at night.
In the new house we don't have a hallway so the litter tray is in the kitchen. Once the boys had settled properly we started letting them out. They now have total outside access so we started removing the litter tray during the day and bringing it back in at night. All was well.
Or so we thought… at the weekend we noticed that someone has peed on a pile of magazine and knitting patterns under the tv the knitting patterns are no more
We cleaned it all up with much outrage from DH! It wasn't that horrible car wee smell so I don't think they were marking, just going to the loo.
We have now stopped taking away the little tray and have introduced one into the bathroom too. Only problem is that they seem to only use the litter tray and don't go outside for the loo!
As a result my bathroom (fortunately not kitchen) smells of cat poo.
How can we encourage them to go back to using the big outside toilet without risking patches of piddle in our house?
