Hi there, Does anyone know how I can wean my two darlings off the litter tray? They go outside and promptly come back in and use the tray!! I thought about just removing the tray but wondered if they would just 'do it' on the floor!! many Thanks!

Try keeping the tray outside
Put it in an area where you want them to poop...like behind bushes, etc.
Make sure that there's nice and loose dirt in that area so that when you remove the tray, they can still bury it.

I agree with Rick, however I would suggest moving it slowly. A few feet a day until it gets to the outside. Are they spayed/neutered yet?

Well....The very day I posted on here, before I had any replies, I hid the litter tray in the bathroom and went in the garden to do some tidying up etc, I decided to get a stone and start scraping the earth with it...the cats are sooooo nosy, it wasnt long before the boys were 'helping' me!
One started to dig where I had been scraping so i started to scrape around where the other one was about a foot away...To my great relief they both sat and wee'd in their respective holes!!
It was a very funny but proud moment and for the rest of the morning they were racing round the garden digging holes and weeing and pooping like they'd done it for years!!
I threw the litter tray out that same day, and they havent had it since, 4 months old and off the litter tray!!
This is a fantastic site, and thank you to those who replied, I'm sure I'll be back!
