Put his poo in the litter box, and let him smell his own poo in that box. Whenever he poos at other place, put his poo in the litter box. It takes time, but worth it. Good luck.

Urine spraying and smearing poop are marking behaviors. They are also how cats express extreme emotions such as frustration. Your cat is trying to tell you something. Take a good look at what is going on in your home. First, is he neutered? Have there been any social changes, like a roommate moving in or out? Is there a new cat or dog in the neighborhood that he perceives as a rival or threat? Is he being mistreated in any way? Is he healthy? Are you neglecting him? Has your schedule and therefore his routine changed drastically? Are you "seeing another cat" outside your home and bringing back its scent on your clothing? All these things can cause a cat to spray urine or smear poop around the house.
A few months ago, we moved to a new apartment. Both my cats did not like that place becuase since it was a "pet freindly" complex, there were dogs constantly being walked and stray cats always in sight. Both my cats were indoor-outdoor cats but in this apartment, I thought to turn them into indoor-only cats. They both became extremely frustrated and stressed becuase of the sight of other strange pets they can see from the windows. My youngest cat began to trail poop in the hallway. He did this 3 times. My older cat began to spray and claw at the carpet. Thankfully, we stayed in that palce only 3 months. We are now in a house. Both my cats stay indoors most of the time, but I have an outdoor enclosure for them where they can stay if I can't be with them outdoors. Also, I walk them around the backyard on a leash to satisfy their psychological need to roam and investigate all the interesting scents of the garden. Both have been perfect angel as far as the litter box goes.
Maybe your cat is frustrated about something?

He probably is in pain because this has been going on for so long. It could be anything from a serious illness to not being able to digest the type of cat food he's eating. He may need to have his diet changed to a better food or one specifically for sensitive systems. Make sure you keep your vet appointment and keep PLENTY of water out for your cat so he doesn't get dehydrated.
