I own 3 cats...2 Persians adopted from shelters (declawed by original owners and neutered ) and a 4 year old female (also neutered, not declawed). The persians are like brothers while the female is a loner. All cats shared one litter box without any problem . Once I noted that someone had pooped outside of the litterbox (normal stool) about 2 feet away from the box. I admit the litterbox was dirty at this time. However this behavior has continued . I find an occasional poop usually daily or every other day, even though the litter is spotless. i keep the litterbox in a den which previously was the home of a cat who routinely soiled the carpet (urine and feces). I had cleaned the carpet well with enzyme cleaner and many cleaning agents. I have no clue as to which cat is the pooper. Any advice is appreciated. I placed another litter box in another room which occasionally is used. I considered purchasing that computer litter box.

Cat is pooping out of litterbox

Try having two or three litter boxes in the same room. It's recommended that you have the number of litter boxes equal to the number of cats in the house.

Until you know the culprit it's kind of hard to do much more about this problem other than what you've done!
You might want to spring for a Comfort Zone plug-in with Feliway and also yet another litterbox, although I understand about space limitations.
If you do ever figure out the kitty who thinks outside the box, then a vet exam will determine if there is a medical cause.
Good luck!
