Some cats prefer not to pee and poo in the same tray. Thus, two different trays may be the trick!

You can also try with Dr Elseys kitten attract litter.  Not cheap, but you dont need to fill up the whole try with just dr Elseys. It is enough if you lay only the upper layer with this attract litter, the rest down under with some more common, non smelling non clumping litter.

Good luck!

there is 2 litter trays in the room so he has the option to go to either of them i also check it regularly n clean it as soon as it has been used i have 2 down there as he is with 4 kittens that r only 3wks old n obviously the mother of those kittens is down there that particular tray is a little higher on the edge than a normal size litter tray but he can get in n out of it no proplem have seen him go into the higher edged one n he also uses it for pooping in if his tray is dirty eg first thing in morning as i clean them both before going to bed but they r both dirty when i get up in morning but generally during the day he tends to just use the one n not both

Are you properly cleaning the soiled areas with an enzyme cleaner? Otherwise he's going to smell it and keep going there.

Is he penned or loose in a room? The more space they have the harder it would be to litter train.

they were in a large area but have today moved them into a smaller room so not much of an area to run around in i clean the soiled area regurarly with this stuff called zoflora it is a disinfectant that is safe to use on pet bedding n cages
