I have four cats: 12 year old female, 3 year old female, 15 month old male & 10 month old female. All are spayed/neutered, and all are indoor. I have two litter boxes. I recently went on vacation for two weeks. I left a different brand of clumping litter for changes while I was gone as the regular was unavailable. While I was gone, one of the kitties started pooping in front of the larger litter box. I don't know for sure who is doing it, but suspect the male as he is the only one that tries to cover it. I switched back to their old litter when I returned, and took the cover off of the larger box. (Thought he might feel cramped). Still pooping on the floor - any ideas? The new litter was highly scented, and I thought that might be the problem. Maybe I should wash the box?

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

Before we even get to the problem at hand, you should have 5 litter boxes. The rule is one for each cat plus one extra.
It sounds like you leaving + different litter was the straw that broke the camels back. I would uber clean the two you have, go back to the litter you had before and invest in three more boxes.

I put one more litter box down (all I had), and nothing. Started scooping twice a day, and presto! No more poo on the floor. Apparently three boxes + twice a day scoopings = six litter boxes!

Not really, but I'm glad it worked out for you.
