Automatic Litterbox Central

My cat has gotten into this habit of peeing inside and pooping otuside litter robot. He started doing the same thing with my old litterbox (LitterMaid) - I just recently got the litter robot. I put aluminum foil down on the floor in front of the litter robot to discourage it, but he just went ahead and pooped on that too!

So, it doesn't appear to be an issue with the litter robot because he does go inside to pee. Any ideas to get him pooping inside the litter robot??

How "fresh" is the litter? I find that when my litter gets about 6 weeks old, my cat will poop outside and pee inside. When I do a complete change-out of the litter, he starts pooping inside again.

Our cat was doing the same thing and we finally took him to the vet. The vet found that his anal glands were plugged. After he cleaned them out our cat has been pretty consistent about using the litter robot. (The exceptions being when he was mad at us or when he had an upset tummy and wanted to show us that he wasn't feeling well.)

Sounds like a medical condition to me also.
