Is he peeing ok? If he is peeing ok (make sure) then maybe he has an impacted anal gland which may be hurting him. An anal gland is a scent glant that is located right inside the edge of the anus. Normally when a cat poops the glands get emptied but sometimes the scent material in them is too thick to be emptied normaly and the gland becomes impacted and will eventially burst. I would try and get an appointment with the vet.
