Another Litter Box Problem

We've had one cat for about a year and got a new one in October. They survived through December with one box and no problems.

In January, we moved the location of the litter box. The reason for this was because we kept it in a back room that was cold and by keeping the door closed, we'd spend less on heating.

Anyway, the older cat did not take to the move. He started defacating in other places but 99% of the time it was right next to, but not in the box. We've moved it three times so far (with sufficient time for adjustment) and still no luck. He will ocassionally defecate in the box but usually doesn't. He does, however, always urinate in the box.

We decided that maybe he developed some issue with sharing a box so we put out another one, next to the first box but still no luck.

I don't think it's a clean box issue because we scoop at least once a day. We haven't tried changing the litter.


Any suggestions?
