Almost sounds like separation anxiety to me. Try leaving a radio on. Cats are alot different than dogs but I used to do that with any puppy I had when I would go to work.

You just described a typical cat.Naw. let me break it down a tad. People DO NOT OWN cats. Cats OWN people. I have two cats an older male and a younger female. The chic is cool and chill yet will have her moments. The male? well that dude is a forking butt crevasse. Seriously. If you don't feed him the brand of food he likes he will stare you in the eyes and flip the bowl at you. When they are given treats he will inspect each pile (not sure what else to call it) to see which is bigger so he can have it. Want to snuggle up to the wife? Tough shirt you're in his space now. If it looks comfy he will sit/lay there and that includes your face. Sheesh I could go on.

That's the "nuclear option. "I suppose you havent tried dropping trou yourself over the litter box, showing him how it is done?
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do that but, if there's a mess when I get home tonight then I'll be locking him in a bathroom when I'm not home.The first rule of having any new pet(cat or dog) - if you don’t want it using your home as its toilet, you do not give it freedom in the house if you are not there to supervise until the animal is house trained.
Lock him in a bathroom or laundry room while you’re gone with his food, water, bed and litter box until he has acclimated at your house, knows where to use the bathroom and has earned freedom.
He may be old and know how to use a litter box but everything about your house is new for him and he’s out of his element.
