Default Defacation problem

Ok, I've got this wonderful cat that has had this problem for several years
now, and maybe someone here can help.

He is a mixed breed, but beautiful animal. I got him from my vet when he was
a kitten. He is neutered/declawed (front). He is approximately four years
old.

On to the problem. To put it bluntly, he will not crap in the liter box. He
craps just outside of it, on the floor, and ocassionally in a corner of the
house (but now we've started locking him in the bathroom, he sticks to the
floor in there). We have two liter boxes, and only one other animal, a 5lb
yorkshire terrier (female, spayed).

We've tried everything, 4 liter boxes, meticulous cleaning ... but it is the
rare ocassion when he craps in the liter box. It happens, just not very
often. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Paul
