They don't; a cat that has never been outdoors is quite happy with a litter box, so long as it is kept reasonably clean (scoop it daily). A cat that has access to the outdoors will urinate outdoors because it uses the scent of its urine to mark its territory and warn other cats away.

They actually don't. A cat that is allowed to go outside will prefer to urinate outdoors, because he or she uses the scent of its urine to mark its territory. But cats who are kept indoors will quite happily urinate in a litter box, so long as it is kept clean.

Either the dogs or the cats have to be outside?

Well, both dogs and cats can be outside, but dogs must go outside when they need to urinate, but cats can just use a litter box.Technically, dogs and cats can both be outside, or they must stay outside because someone in the house may be allergic, or there's furniture that is too fine for a dog or cat to get their fur on.But my cat goes in and out all the time, so does my dog, but one cat that we do not want stays in the barn. So, no dog or cat has to be inside or outside.
