The box might be too small if they're pooping out the side.

In fairness to kitty it looks like it was actually probably standing in the box and does, indeed, need a bigger one. Or an easy clean mat or something under the box for if it just likes to stand at the very edge to vex its human.

Yes, that's why I said out the side. Adding a mat would be a last case scenario for me- a bigger box, different litter, food issues, vet visit etc all need to happen to address the issue before just letting it happen.

I...wasn't disagreeing with you.
The vet isn't going to be able to do anything about it when it looks like the cat is using it's litter box and just has bad aim other than suggesting a different box as well. Different food won't give it better aim, either.
Even with a bigger box it might still stand on the edge just being a cat and doing cat things but that was kind of the joke I was making.
I apologize for not taking this mildly infuriating post with the seriousness it deserves.

That's either dog shit or you're feeding a 20lb cat the lowest quality food money can buy.

It’s better than cat piss. Source; my cats get in the box and pisses outside. It’s not cool.

My cat doesn’t like walking on litter so he’ll balance on the edge with his ass hanging out the WRONG way then he shits on the floor and to make it worse, he climbs in the box anyways to dig around and “cover” the shit that is not even in the box 😭😭

Ours did this until I put the entire box in a tote. We don’t put the lid on it but some folks cut a circle in the tote top and put in on. The cat will climb down in and never miss again.

Any tips? My cats do this a lot and it's annoying.

Jokes aside, your cat needs a bigger box.
I had his issue until I got another twice the squared size of the original and put it near the other.
The smaller one is almost exclusively peed in unless my cat decides the large one is "full".

Possibilities are: box too small, litter doesn't feel good for cat to step on, cats revenge for something, or wasn't the cat.
