I've tried this in different households and in different saves, but everytime I got the same result. After having done the "scold for peeing inside" interaction a couple of times, I got a notification according to which the cat had learnt to go pee outside. However, even after they supposedly "learnt", they never do ; they just ask for a litter box and if they are not given one, they will pee inside. Adding to the irony, the interaction "scold for peeing inside" is then available again. What even is the point of scolding the cats for having peed inside, if they CAN'T go outside ? Also, what is the point of having little doors for pets to go outside on their own then ?
Am I missing something or is EA logic just different from any other logical thinking on earth ever ?
(Teaching to dogs works just fine though.)

I can't believe there are so many problems and restrictions even though cats and dogs are literally the only big feature of this 40 euros pack (I'm French). If the addition of TWO ANIMALS in any other game was at this price, I would expect it to be the most mind-blowing, true-to-life detailed magical animals we have ever seen in any virtual reality ever. Instead of that... Well, I like the pack! I'm actually having a lot of fun with it, but still, it is not worth the price ! Has anyone seen the animation when a dog takes a pet dish in his mouth to bring it to a sim ? It becomes gigantic in his mouth, and shrinks back to its original size once it reaches the floor. For some reason they couldn't use the same objects with the same dimensions for build/buy and for the animations. I get that the team in charge of the animations is somewhat separate from the one modelling the objects, but still, it seems like common sense that the models used in the animations should be the same ones as the ones in game! Why is everything so rushed and still so expansive with this game?
Rant over.
I still love you, The Sims.
I do.

You sound so frustrated, :/ But cats are not like dogs, they use litter boxes, and EA has so many for you to chose from. I like the auto one because then you never have to clean it, and yes you can put it outside or inside. :)

Cats are not like dogs, but they can be taught to pee outside all the same. My real life cats do. They also answer to their names, and won't enter the rooms they are not allowed in. I don't know where this idea that cats have to use a litter box comes from, but I do find it pretty frustrating to have to carry a litter box in your inventory every time you go outside, when they could just go anywhere, since... it's outside. Dog houses were not implemented in the game because the developers wanted it to be more modern and true to life, but cats can't pee outside without a litter box? It's just weird. I do appreciate that there is a self-cleaning litter box though. Especially since the way it works is pretty fun, with the lazer eyes and stuff. I haven't tried putting it outside yet, so I am glad to hear it works. But I would still prefer cats to be able to pee outside, especially on community lots.

Yours may but not every cat can be trained to go pee outside and it has nothing to do with thier intelligence, it has more to do with thier traits. Cats has some of the traits thier big cousins has. As far as training an cat is on a whole different level than an dog, cats does not necessarily look to thier master for support unless they want something but with an dog they value it's master company. Cats are very clean if they are domesticated and the reason for litter boxes. In the game sure they can make it happen for an cat to pee outside. Another thing cats are very private when it comes to doing thier business.
