Quite simply either there is something wrong with your cat or something is wrong with your cat s litter box.

You cat may poop everywhere except the litter box such as near the back door the front door on the floor etc. Clean the box. Another general rule of thumb to follow is one litter box for each cat in the household plus one extra for good measure. In addition to litter box cleanliness the placement of the box could cause your cat to go elsewhere.
