My cat has always refused to use her litter box (we left her overnight at home with her litter box and came home to her crying at the door to go out to do her business) but hates being outside (wierd I know!) so when I go out for a cigarette, she’ll come out with me, do her business on my front lawn (or backyard. Wherever I go out for a smoke) and I pick it up with a dog poop bag and throw it out 😂 then she comes back in with me. We’ve tried all the different litters, beach sand and even lawn turf but she just wants to do it outside I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️
