We’ve had to train several kittens and cats on how to use the litter box. The best way is to start with enough non-perfumed litter, we prefer non-clumping because it does not cause problems in the cat’s stomach from licking its feet. Next, we take the cat to the liter box, put him in and with our hands on the cat’s paws, show them how to do the burying movement with both paws, one at a time. Repeat this while the cat will let you, then let him go. Repeat that process several times until he or she gets the idea. I think the cat will do this himself if he is outside by himself. We also keep the cats in the house until it knows the house and is comfortable before letting them outside. This looks like a fairly young one, we have one like it.

if you haven't already consider a better litter without all the terrible perfumes.

You can try isolating them to a bathroom that has the litter box, a bed, and food/water. This way they get used to the litter box. Then after a week or so you open them up to more of the home.

Generally, you want as many litter boxes for each cat plus one. So, in your situation you should have two litter boxes, preferably one on each level of the home.
