Why won't my cat use the litter box anymore?

I have a 6 month old cat and she has always used the litter box ever since we got her but for some reason now she won’t use it. She pees all over our clothes and on our bed and she poops on the kitchen floor every night. We did get a bigger cat box recently and we had to move it could this be why she won’t use it anymore? Any advice would be good cuz I don’t want to get rid of my kitty.

What if my dog potties in his crate?




This is long sorry.
Okay we got a 5 month old Japanese Chin and well if you read my other questions you will see that we’ve had health problems with him. Anyway he has no problem urinating and pooing in his crate. I have limited the amount of water he gets and he gets no food or water after 5:30pm he is let out at 10:30pm and I get up and take him out at 3:00am, and during the day he goes out regularly and I always make sure he does his buisness. Yet he still goes in his crate? It’s very frustrating for me. I have crate trained and house broke many dogs with only 1 other dog that I had problems with (he suffereed from seperation anxiety) this dog does not have the signs of seperation anxiety so I don’t think that what it is. I give him treats everytime he goes outside and he still goes in his crate? I’ve even tried taking him out more regularly but he will just go lay down on the sidewalk.
His crate is not to large either!!! If he goes in it he either has to stand or lay in it!!
I’m a big fan of crate training and that good because in the case of this dog he prefers to go on my kitchen floor as well, so there is no way I’m willing to just let the dog run!!
O and he will most of the time go within 15 minutes of just going outside. I’ve tried leaving him out longer and he won’t go any more until I let him in.
I know he is older and this is going to make it more challenging but, this is more challenging then I thought!!
He is only kept in his crate in the day for 2 hours at a time then let out to potty. At 5 months of age he should be able to hold it for way longer then that seeing as he always goes potty before being put in the crate. If I take him out every hour he will not go that is until after I put him back in his crate.
As far as night when I put him in at around 10:45pm then get up at 3am his crate is still dry but he goes sometime between 3:15 am (when I put him back in) and 7 am when my husband lets him out.
I take him out at the same time every day and night.

I have a kitten that was born the day after mothers day. I place him in the litter box as often as I remember. But this morning I caught him peeing on my kitchen floor. Anyone have any advice about how I can get him to stop doing that and to go in the litter box? The mom cat frequently goes into the little litter box for the kitten and looks at it. But she uses the litter box that is in the basement, and I have the litterbox for the kitten in a closet on my main floor?
Any advice would be very helpful. I can’t have a cat peeing every where.

We have used old bed comforters and even bought her a dog bed from Sam’s that had a canvas like material cover. All chewed to shreds!! I have heard things like hay or hampster bedding but don’t want it all over the kitchen floor which is where we keep her crate. The dog is a 11 month old American Bulldog.

I rent a wall to wall carpeted apartment and I am potty training my dog and, of course, she goes on the rug and the floor. Is this stuff ok to use in a steam cleaner? My kitchen floor is getting an odor also. Will this smell go away?? I alternate bleach mopping with this stuff on the kitchen floor to try to disinfect. This stuff worked great on the mattress, but it seems like its taking a long time to work on the rug and floors. Is this normal, since she keeps going in the same spots?

My dog before he goes out always has a mouthful of dog biscuits before a long walk. He always does before he goes in the garden as well and will not go out in the garden until he has had a mouthful, why do you reckon this is?, just curious.
Sorry i explained the question wrongly. The dog biscuits are always on the kitchen floor in his bowl. There is always enough in there,for him to eat throughout the day,and i always to it up,when low.
