Why is my cat smearing terrible-smelling poop everywhere suddenly?

Question

My cat pooped today, & it smelled TERRIBLE! Worse than usual, & then we went to see what happened & we saw that he had smeared poop everywhere. Why did he do this? He’s never done anything like this before. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 9 months old | 12 lbs

It could be Beanz had diarrhea and couldn't control his bowels. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
