Well, it's getting worse. The past two days that I've been at work, he's gone crazy in his litterbox in his kennel, flinging litter and his stool all over. Of course, it doesn't help that he's also taken to playing in his waterbowl, getting himself and the floor of the kennel soaked. Thankfully he's got short hair so it's easy to wash him out in the bathtub.



I talked to my vet's office, and they said that there's possibly something he doesn't like about the litterboxes. But this only started after his intestinal infection he developed a week after I moved him home. And he's also doing it in the kennel, which is everything that he had at my parents' house, including the same exact litterbox.



One thing that lessened the mess yesterday was that I didn't leave as much water in his waterbowl since he's taken to playing with it, splashing it out all over and getting the litter in what is still in the bowl.



One thing I'm trying to do is when I can and he's using his litterbox, after he's covered what he's left, I've been guiding him out of the litterbox and praising him. I'm gonna try using toys to distract him from playing in the litterbox as well. I'm open for other suggestions too.
