What are you meant to do with all the spent litter?

My cat is 8 years old and is definitely an indoor cat. Lately she has been pissing on the tiles right next to the litter box. Is it that the tray is too small or cant she see it? The tray is a standard size you would buy from any shop and we use crystals to soak up the waste which has been very good. I Need help im mopping the floor every second day and it stinks!

This cat used the litter tray before and now wont, my girl friend wont let him out much because he went missing for a while but got him back in the end, my argument is he needs to be chucked out the house all day. i realy feel like wacking the shit out of this cat becuase of what is happening round my house. how the hell do i sort this one out, plz help me i am starting to go mental about this. Its not just that, its the fact the cat is 8 months now and should not be doing this.

Hi. I have an 18 month old cat that has always been pretty bad at using her littler tray. She originally grew up with two other cats in the house who knew how to use the litter, but she never quite learnt, sometimes she’d be good but other times she’d go outside the box. I think it may have been a cleanliness issue for her.
Lately she has gotten really bad. I left her home alone for the weekend (had a mate feed her), and when i came home i found one lot in the litter tray and about four other lots surrounding the tray. So i cleaned it up last night, put fresh litter in it and hoped for the best. When i got home from work today i found another lot on the floor, and also, get this, a pile on my freaking bed. I am almost at the end of my patience with her but as i love her dearly would like to know anyone’s thoughts or suggestions.

ive got a really big problem…my cat wont use a litter tray…ive had him 3 months and he will not use one AT ALL, hes a year old its not the litter as ive tryed changing that and he has two trays…yet he will always do hes business on my floor…ive got a new baby due in march…i cant keep him if this continues…please help me!???
what the fuck are you talking about get rid of my baby?? im 6 months pregnant you dick…why dont you go and jump infront of a train…no dumb comments please, they wont be appriciated
my problem is hes not a kitten, so i dont know if he was trained this by hes previous owner which most kittens pick it up himself..but if hes one years old i dont see how i can make him use a litter tray…it should come natural

I am currently experiencing a problem with my oldest cat Paris who is 3. She was litter trained when we got er and has used the tray for the past 6months but now for the past week she has urinated and soiled on the kitchen floor right next to the tray but never in it. I have tried moving the tray and each time clean the area to get rid of the smell. She does not go anywhere else other than beside the tray. My youngest kitten 5months (male) has never gone anywhere other than in the tray. Anything i can do to stop this as its unhygienic and unpleasant.
I do already have 2 litter trays and clean the litter as soon as possible after they have used it. The cat has been to the vets and doesnt have a infection. Oh and i have had the kitten 3months and she hasent done it then. Thanks so far

I just bought my cat a covered litter tray. I took the door off as I was afraid this would put him off more. He sniffed all around his new tray, then he tried to get inside of it but freaked out and ran away. This happened a number of times before he decided to take a whiz while sitting on the lid…. Clearly he knows what it’s for but he just doesn’t want to go inside!!
Should I take the lid right off and just take it day by day, only adding the lid for a few hours at a time?
I NEED him to use a covered tray as he won’t bury his poop! Smelly! He also eats with his paws! Haha, I clearly picked a winner!
I would like to also add that I did not purchase said kitty litter box so I could become lazy and ignore his stinky poops. I still plan to scoop as soon as it happens!

my oldercat is not really impressed and hisses and growls. she does go out into the kitchen and sniffs around. the other day she went out whilst kitten was upstairs and licked the litter tray?? not in it the plastic on the outside? normally if i smell of the new kitten and smothe her she will go for me,but when i went to smothe her this time she gave my hand a lick?? what does this mean?
