Default Pooping Outside the Box?

This has been a problem with Tiger from day one. I think it's just a
"cling-on" problem since he is long haired. I have three litter boxes
that are kept scooped. Tiger is not arthritic. Most of his poops are
in the box but he frequently drops a small piece outside the box. I
just live with it..

That's an entirely different issue. "Cling-ons" are very common, especially
with long haired cats. I was describing an issue where Amber eventually
would always squat on the carpet--it was not cling-ons. It happened only
when she became elderly, and I am convinced that it became painful for her
to dig in the litter. I hope that will not become a problem for Jill, but I
described it so that she could look for similar signs. Cats that have been
declawed frequently develop arthritis at a younger age and often display
inappropriate litter box behavior. Just like Persia, Amber was always
fastidious about using the litter box until she began to develop problems
with using her paws for digging.

I suspect it *is* age related. Of course I don't know how old she is.
Persia's litter box is very clean and she's got kitty steps (which I try not
to trip over!). But someone front de-clawed her so that very well may be a
a factor. She's not exhibiting any other odd behaviour so I wasn't really
sure where this might be coming from.
