At that time we read that they will react favorably (in that they will stop doing it) if you take the cat and lightly stuff its nose into the pile, say "NO!", and then take it to the litter box, depositing the mess there and covering it up with the litter. (this, of course, requires a pooper-scooper) You'll probably encounter some resistence to the first step, but after a week or so, you'll find that you aren't doing it much anymore, and after a month or so, none at all. If you decide to use this method, good luck... -Mike
