I agree that you should take your cat to the vet for a check up.

I've found that my cats prefer open litterboxes instead of the ones with the hoods on them. I buy ex-large/jumbo litterboxes that have high sides to them so they can't kick litter every where or pee over the top of them. I've also been putting cat attract litter on top of the regular litter that I use and my cats seem to like this a lot. You can buy it online or at Petsmart.
You beat me to it! That stuff is worth every penny. Allen used to use the carpet beside my litter box every day - often twice a day. Very frustraing. Once I used Cat Attract the problem went away. I now am on Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Litter. Still as good as his Cat Attract but half the price. Whenever someone starts going outside the box again I replace one box with the Cat Attract. I sing Dr. Elsey's praises. Best litter on the face of hte planet. No more litterbox accidents!!!

I used to scoop 3, 4 times a day and he still pooped next to the box. Now I scoop just once a day (woohoo!) and there's never any problem. No smell. No upset kitties. and very little dust. I swear, its the best litter out there (and no I am not paid to say this )

Oh, I'd also add at least one more box if you have the room.
