How do you get a cat to always use the litter box?

My cat poops next to the litter box at times.
Answers:
Sometimes they cannot help it or make it to the box.
This also happens to people at times and it鈥檚 normal.
He doesn't like it when you don't clean it regularly. Try emptying it more often.
By setting them in the box and showing them that that is their bathroom by taking their paw and scratching at the kitty litter to show them what they need to do and when they got to the bathroom on the floor then you scold them and put them in their box and show them again.hope this helps! good luck with your kitty!
my cat does it too some times all u have to do is keep the box clean.
Keeping the box clean is the best solution. I had a cat that would refuse to use the litter if I hadn't scooped even the smallest amount of urine or feces.

I also suggest if you have more than one cat to have a litter box for each one. He/She may not want to use the same box as the other cat. Sometimes cats and other animals use urine as a way to mark their territory and your cat may feel threatened by the scent of urine from another cat. Your cat having his/her own litter box should fix the issue.

Hope this helps you.
