I mentioned above about probable health issues, and I have had this problem in the past. My cat stopped using his litter tray, and over a couple of days I noticed he was going just outside on the tiled floor. A quick visit to the vet, and I found out he had a urine infection. The vet explained that he probably associated the pain he felt when he tried to urinate with using his litter tray, and so he avoided going inside.

There are also a couple of other reasons for your cat avoiding going in their litter tray. A change of home, another cats scent and also products that you use to clean the litter tray with can all have an affect. I have used a spray in the past which is supposed to freshen up the litter, but my cat obviously didn't like the smell, and he stopped using his tray once more.
