him poop for a while.? Male cat about 4.5 years and have had him for 1.5 years. Has always pooped inside but may have possibly pooped outside occasionally in the neighbours garden in the past.

Also has gone through periods of not pooping in the litter box, and has been pooing outside the litter box for quite sometime now. Has always had a problem with covering his pee and poop, he would always scratch the side of the litter box instead of covering it with the litter.

We have spent $1500 in vet bills in the last 3 months so do to want to take him back if not necessary, he doesnt seem to be in discomfort but i cant see his poop outside anywhere. Suggestions please?
