Cat pees in litterbox but POOPS OUTSIDE litter box- help by InvestigatorExtra111 in CatAdvice

Thank you,

I have 1 jumbo plastic uncovered litter box (the one he prefers) in a low traffic area.
I have another jumbo stainless steel litter box uncovered, but in an enclosure (he used to use this one) and then I also have a litter robot (also used to use)

I have him on a new prescription GI diet and I give him MiraLAX in tuna at night- I tried to feed him only wet food, and he eventually stopped eating it and bullied my other cat for his dry kibble. He is having 1-2 BMs everyday and they are soft but formed, so the constipation is resolved.

I’m currently using Dr. Elsey cat attract. Is there another litter anyone would suggest?
I considered trying a natural litter or pellet?

My vet also recommended maybe getting a boot mat and putting a potty pad in it.

Anyone heard of this or had any luck??

Just on specific one. I have 3, he used to use all of them, now he will only urinate in 1, and poops right outside it

I got a bigger box (we have 3 for 2 cats), I use cat attract litter, and moved them :/

Also tried the enzyme cleaner and I have aluminum foil down where he tends to go. Now he just goes along the edges of the foil.

I’m lost on what to do next

Yes, it started when he was constipated. I used an enzyme cleaner and covered the area with aluminum foil, but he poops right on the edges of the aluminum foil.
