Cat only pops right outside of box

My Seymore is 3 yrs old. He's always been a handful but we love him. Last year we adopted another cat, soon after he peed on our couch several times. That has since been resolved. I have 2litter boxes& clean them daily. Samuel is great. Seymore now pees in the box( I am grateful) bu, poops outside of it. He's not hanging over it too far I've caught him. That seems to be his preference! Is this something I have to live with? Also I have new couches coming soon & I'm petrified he might test them out!!

"My Cat From Hell" returns!

Summer is saved!

In the midst of a long drought of summer re-runs, one bright spot is the return of a new season of Animal Planet's breakout hit, "My Cat From Hell." This show stars Jackson Galaxy, the tattooed, pierced, oddly-bearded, biker-looking dude who is - contrary to appearances - and isn't that a lesson for you - a kind, sensitive, and empathetic cat behavioral specialist. 

In the same way that "The Dog Whisperer" IS Cesar Milan, "My Cat From Hell" IS Jackson Galaxy. He literally makes the show. Galaxy's humor, intuition, and ability to assess a situation from a cat's point of view is as unique as it is fascinating. I recently found his blog, jacksongalaxy.com, via his Twitter feed. (Animal Planet promotes the "My Cat From Hell" section of its website, which is somewhat paltry. If you are interested in the show, check out Jackson's own site!) His seven minute video "The Politics of Litter" will teach you more about cat psychology than an entire shelf full of useless conventional cat books.
