We adopted a 6 year old neutered male tabby from an animal shelter a month ago & every night, without fail, he poops (only poop, never pee) outside the litterbox.

During the day, he uses the litterbox just fine. But as soon as we fall asleep he sneaks out of bed & poops (usually on the couch or futon).

We have added an additional litterbox to the household & keep them both very clean. We also use natures miracle to clean up the morning messes. When we took him to the vet because of this, the vet gave him a clean bill of health & said it was most likely caused by stress.

We love our new kitty very much but we don't understand what is causing this & we are out of ideas to help him! Any advice is appreciated!
