• Answer #1

  You have to make the litter box seem better to the cat. Make sure the litter box is in a room he doesn't go into very often and try and force him to go in it at least once. The cat will realize that going there is preferable.

  Also, the cat may be pooping everywhere right now to mark territory. Cats tend to do this in a new environment.
