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?

Pooping outside of the box

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.

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