That person probably never washed the cat litter box.  You have to empty 
and wash them, dry and put a little fresh litter in on a regular basis. 
If you don't, yes, some cats will poop outside of the box.  Cats like 
*clean* litter boxes.  They don't want to smell the urine or poop 
anymore than you do.  They'll do it in protest if you don't keep the 
litter box clean.  Another reason could be the litter box might be too 
small for the size of the cat.
