How do you convince a kitten to use the bathroom outside, when it is used to a litter box inside?


Answers:
put the litter box out side
I'm not sure. I have a cat that is inside and outside. Last summer he would run back into the house to use the litter box. It was cute. This summer he was better about using the bathroom outside.

Sorry I wasn't much help.
And where do you find a bathroom outside for the kitten to use even if you could train it.

Do kittens like baths?
Not sure why you would want to in the first place. it's not a good idea to try and encourage a cat to go outside.
Every day, move the litter box a little closer to the door you expect him/her to go out until the box is outside. He/she should get the picture, cats are smart.
How about . putting the litter box OUTSIDE.
Does some one in your house have a medical condition that rules out an indoor litter box? I find that cats are usually healthier, live longer, and have less parisite problems if they never set foot outside. Fewer vet bills, too.
If this is the way it has to be, though, take some of the litter box filler it is used to and put some on the ground in an acceptable place in your yard and show your cat this place, moving the paws in the litter a few times.
If the kitten is used to using litter you should be ok to remove the tray outside without worring about the kitten soiling the carpets. Both my cats made the move to outdoor use with no fuss.If your kitty reverts to soiling your carpets she is not ready.in that case clean area as normal and spray some surgical spirit on soiled area which will repel kitty from re offending on same spot of carpet.
my two cats Muffin and Berry were reluctant to go to the toilet outside but every now and then in summer we would put the tray outside and then put some of their litter where the we would prefer them to go and after they adapted to the litter being outside we removed the litter and put down some new soil and that inspired them to go any where there is soil. This got annoying as if we wanted to plant a new plant they would poop all around the flower and sometimes dig it up but we kept a close eye and now they only go in sheltered arias where know one can see them. my cats are just over a year old - yes it really did take that long!! good luck!
