Beautiful Homes

Question: Help needed please .... ?

I have an 11 month old cat from a rescue home. He's beautiful and I love him to pieces but the problem is he doesn't seem to understand the concept of going outside to perform his toiletry habits . I'm assuming wherever he was before he was never allowed outside and must have used a litter tray all the time.
I have two older cats and they all get along, but although he will now go outside to play with them he still comes inside to perform. I've tried taking some of his 'offerings' out to the garden to show him where he can go but that hasn't worked and I really don't know how to get round the problem. Any sensible ideas would be greatly appreciated

Answer: Start gradually, get used to his habits first, does he goes to the bathroom usually after eating usually? after nap times? then find out about HIS new surroundings, put yourself in his paws, is there lots of cats in the neighborhood? Cats are private and favorite private areas. Once you've thought like your cat- gradually start taking a clump of used litter, preferably wet ones if the other cats are male, to a soil or sandy area, introduce them to it at the proper time and magic will happen, once the cat fells comfortable (usually 1 or 2 times). When he is out he'll rather stick to the fresh open air (leaving his litter box dirty, but still sanitary, for awhile will want him to broaden his horizons and air)
