Transition from litter box to doing business outdoors (slrpnk.net)

We've got one cat 6months and the other 3months old, currently both using the litterbox. However we're going to move to a new house soon, and eventually try to transition them to getting used to doing their business outdoors instead of the litterbox. Does anyone have any tips or best practices for this transition?

Edit: I dont live in the US, I live in Scandinavia - huge garden and away from traffic. The cats are fine being outside - most cats here are in fact outside. We have norwegian forest cats and they're meant to be both indoors and outdoors - even during winter!

Then keep your cat indoors and don't shove your opinions down others throats? Especially when it's completely irrelevant to what OP is asking

You don't think information about the effects of free roaming cats is relevant to a question about transitioning cats to outdoor roaming?

They asked for tips or best practices, not on subsequent effects.

With clean needles, test shots, and not sharing any of your gear.

Make sure you always do a small sniff or shot of a new bag, know your sources but don’t trust them.

The y to have someone around with Narcan just in case.

It’s called harm reduction
