Cat keeps pooping outside of box daily
Hi
I have a 3 year old male cat, he has been pooping outside his box on a daily basis, this has been going on for a few months, its starting to get really annoying cleaning up the floor so much, I have 6 boxes in my house, I also have 4 other cats 2 males and 2 females, and a free roaming rabbit(that will occasionally use the boxes.) i can say that he is a very nervous cat, any noise or person he sees he runs, except for me.. due to what he has been doing, ive limited him to my room only cut off from the rest of the house, but when he sneaks out... around 12am ill later find his mess inches from the box. i dont know what the problem could be
thank you

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
This is going to sound a little ridiculous but my cat has an attitude problem and she takes revenge. If you're out of the house for too long or if you lock her in a room she gets pissed off and will purposely poop right next to her box, even if you're watching her. She's been like this since she was a kitten. Other than that she'll always go in the box.
Has the cat ever had a problem with the rabbit using its box before? Our cats wont touch a toy after the dog or ferret has touched it so maybe it doesn't like the smell of other animals?
Maybe you could give the cat its own box somehow? We've got 4 cats and 3 boxes, 2 of them normally go outside but they like their own boxes.

I don't know how to stop it, but my cat does the same thing, and what you need to do is buy puppy training pads. They sell them at Walmart and pet stores. Put them outside the box wherever he poops and it makes it a lot easier to clean up.
