Have you changed litter lately? If not, try that. For some reason he might not like the litter. I guess I'm suggesting that if you have made any changes-food, litter, location of the box, any of those might have caused it. He's young. I doubt this will continue. Do you have a plastic mat under the litter box? That will help until you get the problem solved.

i havnt moved the litter tray,or changed food,i use catsan litter i have not changed it has ive used this for yrs with other cats as well as him,he poos any where but the litter tray,got up this morning to poo outside my bedroom and in the down stairs loo,please help someone.

Even if the other cats are having no problems, it's possible that this kitten doesn't like the litter or location of the box. Confine him to a small area (at least at night) such as a powder room, with room for only water, a bed, and a litter box and see if that helps. Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

ozzy the kitten in question has been a very good boy today and hasnt done a poo apart from in his litter tray,so fingers cross hopefully it was just one of those things,ill let u know if things change again.

kittening pooing out of litter tray

i really dont belive this but he as started it all over again,to be truthfull ive had enough now,i have 4 children to consider and it this dont stop so im going to have to rehome him.

That's very sad. Have you tried everything you could, including calling the vet? He's very young, and this might be a death sentence. I'm sure you know that there are too many kittens in the shelters now to find homes for all of them. If you find that nothing works, try to find a no-kill shelter.

Confining him to a small area should work.

That's good. I'm sure she has a bit more time than you-with the four children. I had four myself!
