Growing into an adult, a cat could choose to go inside they litter tray or go outside (in your backyard or garden) – it’s up to each individual preference. If you had more than one cat, it’s the best if you provide one litter box per-cat, it’s even better if you had one extra litter box. Make sure that the litter box always in clean condition, because cat literally don’t like using  soiled or dirty trays.

Cat was the creature of habit, once they prefer toileting in one certain place, they will likely continues to use that place (unless there’s something cause him to averse the place).
