We had a similar problem with some of our kittens last year.Three rescued feral babies with chronic diarrhea
Two were using the box well, but the third would pick a spot (not in the box) and go
She also had a leaky, butt. It's like her sphincter didn't work well. She would walk all over the house dripping diarrhea; and if she lay down, there would be a puddle of the stuff
. It also kept her hiney very icky. I was cleaning up poo spots forever, until we figured out who it was.
We put the kittens in a ferret play pen and tied another pen panel on the top to keep them in. I also put newspaper in the bottom of the pen to make clean up a little easier; since the one was still drippy. When I would clean the pen, I put the kittens in a carrier so they wouldn't tack poo everywhere.
The vet finally determined they had Tritrichomonas foetus. This was after three other medicines/wormers didn't clear it all the way up. The medicine had to be special ordered, but it worked. And the little kitty uses the box, now.

My RB cat Starr also had severe diarrhea and he would also explode where ever he was. At first I also thought that it was behavioral but it turned out that he had IBD,irritable bowel disease, and also Colitis. He was put on prednisolone and on a grain free diet. This really seemed to help him but unfortunately the pred made him gain so much weight that it affected his health and after battling this horrible disease for a few years I had to let him go.
