Keep in mind this has been a problem for nearly a year and I've tried everything under the sun to deal with it. This cat has been to the vet, they see no physical problems with him so it has to be psychological. I keep three litter boxes in the house for easy access and I keep all of them clean. I cannot figure out why this cat keeps not going in the litter boxes but I legit cannot keep a pet in my home that poops wherever he wants. The problem is that he's such a meek and needy cat I also can't rehome him even if he didn't poop wherever. What should I do at this point? I'm out of my mind and I've honestly tried everything.
I've tried behavior therapy, I've tried that cat plugin thing people suggest for anxious cats, I've tried playing with him more, making the litter box more accessible (seriously I have them in places in my house I don't want them just to try to encourage him to go in them but he doesn't). I talked to a person I know who owns 5 cats and is basically an expert on cats I did everything she suggested but that isn't fixing the problem. When I clean up the poop I use stuff that specifically "descents" the area so it's not supposed to attract him to do it again, he just does it somewhere else. I'm at the end of my rope. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this or how to rehome a cat like this or what I should do please tell me.
